context_page_description: Michael Warren Young is an American biologist and geneticist. He has worked over three decades to research studying genetically controlled patterns of sleep and wakefulness within Drosophila melanogaster. He worked at Rockefeller University.
  Young is known for the discovery of the timeless and doubletime genes, which makes proteins that are also necessary for circadian rhythm. He was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Jeffrey C. Hall and Michael Rosbash "for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm".
