The Fain laboratory studies the biophysical mechanisms of photoreceptor function and adaptation. Our research focuses on understanding how photoreceptors respond to light and adapt to different lighting conditions, contributing to both normal vision and retinal disease mechanisms.
Research Focus Areas:
Our work combines electrophysiology and imaging approaches to understand the fundamental mechanisms of photoreceptor function. These studies have provided key insights into how the retina processes visual information and adapts to changing light conditions.
