NEI AGI Seminar in Regenerative Medicine: Cellular Pliancy in Retinal Development and Disease
Dyer is chair of the Department of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude Children ’ s Research Hospital and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. He studies factors that influence and coordinate early cellular development. Specifically, he investigates how cells in the developing light-sensing retina proliferate and organize into cellular subtypes. His objective is to understand the causes of eye cancers such as retinoblastoma and degenerative eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.
