Joint Seminars in Molecular Biology: "Opsin 3, Opsin 4 and Opsin 5, in development, homeostasis and disease, inside and outside the eye"

Richard Lang, Professor, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, presents "Opsin 3, Opsin 4 and Opsin 5, in development, homeostasis and disease, inside and outside the eye".

Dr. Richard Lang, Director of Visual Systems Group and Professor at University of Cincinnati’s Department of Ophthalmology, researches ophthalmology and developmental biology. His lab investigates how intra- and extraocular light sensing pathways deploying OPN3, OPN4 and OPN5 regulate development, homeostasis and disease. After receiving his BS in genetics and biochemistry, at the University of Melbourne, Australia, 1984, and obtaining his PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia, at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research under Drs. AR Dunn and TJ Gonda, he joined The G.W. Hooper Research Foundation, University of California, San Francisco as a postdoctoral fellow, where he studied the role of the macrophage in developmentally programmed tissue remodeling.
