We study the unique molecular and cell biological strategies that cone photoreceptors use for their normal function. Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory cells essential for vision. They convert light information into an electrical signal that is ultimately transmitted to the … Continue reading →

Currently we have two main projects in the lab.  One is focused on understanding the mechanism of cell death in cones lacking the phosphodiesterase Pde6c.  The second project exploits a zebrafish synaptojanin mutant, nrc, to dissect phosphoinositide signaling strategies in … Continue reading →
