There is a stronginterest in non-image-forming irradiance detection systems andhow these encode information to retinorecipient areas in thebrain. The research in the Department spans from genes throughto behaviour and employs a range <strong>of</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art techniquesto place this information into a functional context.The clinical work <strong>of</strong> the Department is concerned with themanagement <strong>of</strong> inherited retinal eye disease, cataract, glaucoma,squint, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy and oculoplastics.There is full interaction between the laboratory and members <strong>of</strong>the Eye Hospital in research and teaching activities.Major research areas include:|| Molecular Biology|| Genetics and Evolution|| Genomics|| Neuroscience|| Electrophysiology|| Biochemistry|| Proteomics|| Behavioural Neuroscience|| Chronobiology|| Structural Biology|| Modellingϐ ϐ<strong>Graduate</strong> Destinations<strong>Graduate</strong>s are encouraged to apply for postdoctoral positionswithin the Department as they arise.92LLEnquiries:russell.foster@eye.ox.ac.uk and neville.osborne@eye.ox.ac.ukHow to apply: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/
