About
Satchin Panda is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he leads research on circadian rhythms and their impact on health. He is one of the world's leading experts on how the timing of eating, sleep, and light exposure affects our biology.
His groundbreaking research demonstrated that circadian clocks exist in nearly every organ in the body - not just the brain - and that disrupting these clocks contributes to metabolic disease, obesity, and other health problems.
Panda pioneered the concept of time-restricted eating (TRE), showing that confining food intake to an 8-12 hour window can improve metabolic health even without changing what you eat. His myCircadianClock app has collected data from thousands of participants worldwide.
