Abstract: The effective translation of our understanding of body rhythms into new strategies for diagnosis that truly benefit human populations is lagging. By the same token, we lack a suitable theoretical framework to understand how the chronodisruption of physiological processes can lead to disease. This prevents the advancement of personalised clinical interventions that take into account the body’s internal time. In this talk, I will show how mathematical modelling and a range of data analysis techniques can help us address these challenges. My analysis will focus on the circadian and ultradian variability of metabolic and stress hormones in different physio- pathological scenarios, and how we can use the insight from mathematical methods to support diagnosis.
