Glen Prusky, Ph.D.

Laboratory for Visual Disease and Therapy

We focus on advancing treatments for visual dysfunction and vision loss in adults and children.

Prusky Lab

Rajiv R. Ratan, M.D., Ph.D.

Laboratory for Neural Redox Biology and Homeostatic Transcription

We aim to understand adaptive programs that facilitate the brain's ability to combat injury and to foster repair.

Ratan Lab

Vibhu Sahni, Ph.D.

Laboratory for Cell Fate Specification and Circuit Development

We aim is to identify molecules that can be recruited to restore functions or to take on new functions.

Sahni Lab

Dianna E. Willis, Ph.D.

Laboratory for Axonal and RNA Biology

We focus on sensory neuron axonal biology, on how local events within the axon are important in driving normal and pathological behaviors.
