Chuan-Chin Chiao

I have studied visual neuroscience for more than 20 years, with considerable attention to retinal neurobiology and cephalopod neuroethology.

My long-term goals are:
(1) to reveal neural mechanism of vision
(2) to elucidate neural regeneration of retina
(3) to uncover neural basis of behavior

ABOUT THE LAB

We are interested in all aspects of visual neuroscience, from cell biology to animal behavior. There are two research fields in the lab, including retinal neurobiology and cephalopod neuroethology.

We welcome anyone interested in studying retina and cephalopod to join us.
