Guglielmo Beccuti joined the Sleep, Metabolism and Health Center at the University of Chicago in 2010. He is currently co-investigator and study coordinator for a pilot study examining the impact of Exenatide on sleep and circadian function in type 2 diabetes. He has recently joined Dr. Matthew Brady's team, focusing on the analysis of circadian rhythms in human adipocytes.
