Overview

Diego A. Golombek is affiliated with the National University of Quilmes in Argentina. Their primary research fields include neuroscience, with a focus on several related subfields such as endocrine and autonomic systems, experimental and cognitive psychology, physiology, cognitive neuroscience, and aging.

The scientist's work concentrates on several main topics: circadian rhythm and melatonin, sleep and related disorders, sleep and wakefulness research, genetics, aging, and longevity in model organisms, spaceflight effects on biology, sleep and work-related fatigue, and dietary effects on health.

Among recent publications are:

Effects of lockdown on human sleep and chronotype during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020, Current Biology
Circadian disruption promotes tumor-immune microenvironment remodeling favoring tumor cell proliferation, 2020, Science Advances
Interplay of chronotype and school timing predicts school performance, 2020, Nature Human Behaviour
Circadian modulation of motivation in mice, 2020, Behavioural Brain Research
Differential Thermoregulatory and Inflammatory Patterns in the Circadian Response to LPS-Induced Septic Shock, 2020, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

Frequent coauthors with whom Diego A. Golombek has collaborated include Juan José Chiesa, Santiago A. Plano, Laura Lucía Trebucq, Melisa L. Lamberti, and Patricia V. Agostino.

Publications have appeared often in venues such as the Journal of Biological Rhythms, Communications Biology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and Frontiers in Nutrition.

Diego A. Golombek has been recognized as a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, an award granted in 2000.
