Nearly every facet of human experience is colored by the sense of sight. The effortlessness and immediacy with which this sense conveys physical, social, and aesthetic qualities of one's environment belie the extraordinary complexity of the brain mechanisms involved. Our acute dependence upon these mechanisms is brought to the fore, however, by a variety of developmental, traumatic, and disease-related disorders of visual perception and visually-guided behavior. While rarely life- threatening, such disorders can be profoundly debilitating, impairing activities that we have come to take for granted, such as reading, driving, or recognizing family and friends. We seek a thorough understanding of brain mechanisms of visual information processing, with the promise of effective treatment and remediation of disorders of vision, as well as insights into the nature of our conscious experience of the world. The specific aims of our research have been to identify how...

Post-doctoral position available for individual interested in signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, and metabolism. Experience in RNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and in bioinformatics helpful. Candidate should enjoy working independently in a collaborative setting. Interest in metabolic physiology desirable; we have state of the art facilities to study the role of the CREB pathway in different metabolic states. Our lab also employs genetics to gain insight into the role of the CREB pathway in glucose and lipid metabolism as well as in the development of insulin resistance and type II diabetes.
