OUR TEAM – Lane Lab

Principal Investigator

Jacqueline M. Lane, PhD

Jacqueline M. Lane, PhD earned a PhD in Genetics from Tufts University and completed her postdoctoral research fellowship at Mass General, the Broad Institute and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lane is affiliated with the Medical and Population Genetics Program at the Broad Institute.

Dr. Lane’s research program uses interdisciplinary approaches to answer questions about basic biology and neuropsychiatric disease risk. Her translational research focuses on understanding the human circadian system and associated neuropsychiatric conditions through the lens of extreme circadian rhythm disorders and novel functional follow-up approaches to address questions of basic biology of the circadian clock and expose the influence of circadian characteristics over human health and life history. See Dr. Lane’s publications.

Dr. Lane’s work has been recognized by the Sleep Research Society through the Outstanding Early Investigation Award and Mass General through the Claflin Distinguished Scholar Award, The McCance Center SPARC Award and the NORCH Center Pilot Award.

Team Members

Lovemore Kunorozva
Post-Doctoral Fellow

Lovemore is a circadian and sleep specialist in the Division of Sleep Medicine, Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in Prof Jackie Lane’s Research Group. He strongly believes in the advancement of human health by using genomics to answer questions about basic biology and neuropsychiatric disease risk. His work marries genetics with functional approaches to address important issues in human health related to sleep and circadian biology. As well, his research work seeks to identify new causal genetic factors for circadian rhythm disorders and elucidate biological pathways underlying circadian regulation. Ultimately, his research work
seeks to benefit circadian disorder patients by allowing for the development of treatment and diagnoses of rare circadian rhythm disorders, increasing our understanding for basic mechanisms of circadian biology in humans. This helps to shed light on how circadian rhythm dysregulation predisposes individuals to associated chronic diseases. Other projects that Lovemore is currently working on include studies investigating the interaction between circadian rhythms, psychiatric
disorders and light sensitivity.

When he is not doing science research, Lovemore is an avid runner and loves spending time in the great outdoors.
