个人简介

Professor Skene is Section Head of Chronobiology. She has over 25 years of research experience studying the human circadian timing system and has authored over 150 refereed research publications. Her recent research has been funded by the EU FP6 and FP7 programmes, UK Cross Research Council New Dynamics of Ageing (NDA) Programme, the BBSRC (UK) and Philips Lighting. She is currently a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award Holder. Professor Skene is currently President of the European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS) (2012- ) (Secretary-Treasurer2002-2009; Vice-President 2012-2015) and is a past Vice-President (Basic) of the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS) (2010-2014). In 2009 Prof Skene established the Joint ESRS-EBRS Symposia that take place each year at the biennial ESRS and EBRS Congresses. She is a past Chair of a Gordon Research Conference (Pineal Cell Biology, 2012), currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Sleep Research and on the Editorial Board of Chronobiology International. She is a Co-Director of Stockgrand Ltd and Surrey Assays Ltd, University-based companies specialising in the measurement of melatonin and other circadian rhythm markers.
