Funded Activity Summary

Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying non-visual photoreception and their implications in the treatment of human neurological disease. The ability of organisms to detect light is fundamental for survival and has been a major driver in evolution. The project will investigate the genetic origins of the various visual and non-visual systems and will explore its implications for the bioengineering of therapeutics for the treatment of neurological disease in humans.
