Jonathan Johnston

Professor of Chronobiology and Integrative Physiology, University of Surrey
I gained my PhD from Manchester in 2002, following studies into day-length regulation of daily and seasonal rhythms. I then worked on similar projects in Aberdeen for 4 years, before taking up a lectureship in Surrey.
