Ed Pugh Speaks at NEI Anniversary

Dr. Ed Pugh, one of our newest vision science faculty at UC Davis, was 1 of 4 invited speakers at the recent Neuroscience and “Vision” Symposium held at the National Institutes of Health, on the occasion of the National Eye Institute’s 40th anniversary. Dr. Pugh’s lab studies the physiology and cell biology of mammalian cone photoreceptors, and is interested in understanding how defects in protein trafficking in photoreceptors often lead to apoptosis and photoreceptor degeneration.
