Fabian Preuss was born in Wolfsburg, Germany. He obtained his Bachelor in Science at the university of Odense, Denmark. After entering the United States in 1999 he completed both his Masters and PhD in Missouri. 2006 he moved to Chicago, IL and conducted research at Northwestern University before arriving at Parkside in January of 2012 where he currently holds a position as Associate Professor in the Biology department.

Teaching Interests

His teaching focus is closely related to the research interests and involves mammalian physiology and pathology and how it might be linked to circadian rhythms, sleep and aging.
Due to his involvement in Parkside's animal care facility, he has hosted workshops in animal research and had dozens of independent study students conduction research.

Research Interests

Dr Preuss has investigated mechanisms of circadian regulation from flies, over mice to humans. Those studies involved the investigation of circadian and sleep disorders or disruptions and the effects on the physiology of the organism. The most recent and current studies involve the elucidation of links between the circadian system and body responses to dietary or pathological challenges focusing on micobiota.
