Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.
RGCs are incredibly important neurons: if they fail to properly connect to and communicate with the brain, serious visual defects can occur. If RGCs degenerate, as they do in diseases such as glaucoma, patients go blind, even if the rest of the eye and brain are healthy and normal. Thus, understanding how RGCs wire up and transmit visual information to the brain and how to repair damaged RGC connections is extremely important for basic science and medicine.
Our lab incorporates a wide variety of techniques and approaches to understanding visual circuits including anatomy, genetics, molecular biology, virology, electrophysiology, and behavior. Each person in the lab works on a different aspect of visual circuit function, development or disease. We are a highly interactive and collaborative group: we actively exchange technologies and ideas with one another, with other labs at UCSD, and with labs around the US and abroad.
