ICTER Research

Physical Optics and Biophotonics

The research in our group can be seen as a perfect interplay between physics, biology and chemistry. We are focusing on developing imaging techniques and using them in many biological and chemical systems.

Integrated Structural Biology

Research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of vision, particularly proteins of the phototransduction pathway and the visual cycle, at an atomic and molecular level.

Image-guided Devices for Ophthalmic Care

We seek to research novel techniques and develop instrumentation to address unanswered questions in vision science and unmet needs in ophthalmology and optometry.

Ophthalmic Biology Laboratory

We use electrophysiology for investigating the system of local and distant communication between populations of neurons responsible for information processing.

Computational Genomics Group

We are interested in creating new approaches for comprehensive inference of developmental trajectories and delineation of cell atlases from single-cell data, understanding the role of cell-to-cell signaling and biological pathways in lineage commitment and transitions between cellular states.
