Eye And Sensory Systems Physiology

Research Interests
Shaowen Bao, PhD 

Mechanisms underlying physiological and pathological neural plasticity in brain development, aging and diseases.

Nicholas A. Delamere, PhD

I study lens physiology, the physiology of aqueous humor dynamics and the regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity by feedback mechanisms that utilize mechanosensitive TRPV and piezo ion channels.

Erika D. Eggers, PhD

The broad goal of research in our laboratory is to understand how synaptic inputs influence neuronal signaling and sensory signal processing in the healthy and diabetic retina.

Jose F. Ek Vitorin, PhD

I would like to understand how connexin channels are regulated and interact with other channels and non-channel proteins to coordinate cellular functions.

Mohammad Shahidullah, PhD 

Ion Transport functions and signaling mechanisms of ocular ciliary epithelium and lens epithelium.
