Position in the field of restoration of sight in Palanker Lab at Stanford

[Daniel Palanker]

Prof. Daniel Palanker at Stanford University is inviting graduate students and postdocs to work on several approaches to restoration of sight in rodent models of retinal degeneration. One approach involves transplantation of photoreceptors and the other – photovoltaic subretinal prosthesis. Experiments related to both approaches are already ongoing, animal models are available, and results are very encouraging. Both approaches involve subretinal implantation, tissue imaging, electrophysiology (ERG and VEP), and behavioral experiments. We are looking for a smart and creative, motivated and independently-thinking person to join the group.
