Georgia Love

Georgia is investigating the interactions of circadian clocks in bacteria and plants.

Circadian rhythms are ~24 hour biological cycles regulating metabolism, physiology and behavioural activities in response to daily fluctuations in external environmental conditions.

Georgia’s work focuses on investigating circadian rhythms in non-photosynthetic bacteria, and how these interact with and influence eukaryotes. The coordination of circadian rhythms between different organisms is determined by internal circadian clocks, which become entrained by environmental cues to optimise periods of growth. The synchronisation of biological cycles provides an experimental model to establish and understand the core principles regulating circadian rhythms in mutualistic systems.

Georgia studied for an integrated master’s degree in Biochemistry at the University of Warwick, graduating in 2024. During this time, she completed her master’s project within the Nieduszynski Group at the Earlham Institute, where she studied DNA replication dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
