Research

At the Providence College Clock Lab (The Snodgrass Lab for Circadian Biology), we investigate how internal biological clocks keep our bodies in sync- and what happens to human health when those rhythms are disrupted. Operating at the intersection of neuroscience, metabolism, and systemic physiology, our research explores how central oscillating clocks send output signals to regulate essential functions like cellular respiration, energy balance, and overall health. Using Drosophila, mouse, and rat models, our team of undergraduate researchers works to trace the pathway from molecular biological clocks to measurable outcomes.

Dr. Snodgrass-Belt is the Director of the Animal Facility, IACUC Chair, and a proud Providence College alumna (B.S. Biology ’91). She brought over 15 years of industry neuropharmacology experience back to PC when she returned in 2013. She teaches in Biology and Psychology and directs the Clock Lab, guiding undergraduate research on circadian rhythms. Her PC connection comes full circle as a faculty member and proud PC parent!
