The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated novel approaches and collaborative efforts
across multiple disciplines. It is known that various aspects of our physiology and response
to pathogens are under tight clock control. However, the assimilation of circadian biology
into our clinical and research practices is still evolving. Using a focused review of the
literature and original analyses of the UK Biobank, we discuss how circadian biology may
inform our diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in this pandemic.
