Dr. Crouch is conducting studies on enzymes responsible for vitamin A metabolism to understand the basic mechanisms that underlie photoreceptor function. | Dr. Husain and Phil Yates are investigating the cellular factors that contribute to retinal ganglion cell loss in glaucoma. |
Drs. Kono and Fan are investigating how mutations in photoreceptor opsin influence rod and cone function and viability. | Dr. Koutalos and Lorie Blakeley are investigating how toxic byproducts produced in the retina can influence photoreceptor viability and lead to the development of macular dystrophies and age-related macular degeneration. |
