Ravi Allada
Ravi Allada is a chronobiologist working with Drosophila as a model organism to study how circadian can function as a regulator of sleep patterns. Most notably, Allada is attributed for being involved in the discovery of a mutation of dClock gene, named Jrk.

He attended University of Michigan for his M.D. and worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Brandeis University. Following his fellowship to the present, Dr. Allada is working at Northwestern as a Professor, Chairmen and Director. Dr. Allada, continues to pursue drosophila circadian rhythm research in his own lab at Northwestern.

Education
Allada completed his M.D. at the University of Michigan. Following medical school, he completed his residency in clinical pathology in Boston at Brigham and Women's Hospital and worked as an HHMI Physician Postdoctoral Fellow. His postdoctoral fellowship was completed at Brandeis University with Michael Rosbash.

Career
After completing his fellowship, Allada moved and joined the faculty of Northwestern University. Since joining the Northwestern faculty in 2000, Allada works as a Professor and Chair of Neurobiology, a Professor of Pathology and the Associate Director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology.

Medical School
Allada was an HHMI-NIH Research Scholar and worked on a molecular genetics project relating to general anesthesia in Drosophila.
