Research in my lab is mostly dedicated to the biochemical and biophysical characterization of the early steps in vertebrate vision, especially the molecular aspects underlying the phototrasduction cascade in rod and cone photoreceptors. We employ in vitro and in silico techniques to achieve both the experimental and theoretical characterization of protein-protein and protein-ion interactions involved in the physiological processes. Our approach includes systems biology analyses to unravel the biochemical mechanisms behind complex cell behaviors in photoreceptors during normal and disease-associated conditions.
Among the specific topics, we are especially interested in:
