| Research Areas |
The lab focuses mainly on the biology of cell adhesion, particularly as it relates to establishing synaptic connections between neurons, using the retina as the primary model system. Research in the lab encompasses both molecular-level studies using X-ray crystallography to understand the structure and function of individual proteins, as well as cellular and histologic studies to understand their roles in vivo.
