Richard A. Lang, PhD Director, Visual Systems Group

Richard A. Lang, PhD, has two major research interests. First, the lab is interested in mechanisms of signaling and morphogenesis in early eye development. Second, they investigate the role macrophages play in regulating vascularity during development and homeostasis.

Fumika Hamada, PhD

Fumika Hamada, PhD, is working to identify molecular mechanisms of temperature sensation using the fly brain as a model. We will elucidate how temperature stimuli are relayed and represented in the brain and will uncover the temperature-responsive neural circuits using genetic, behavioral and physiological approaches.

Michael B. Yang, MD Division Director, Pediatric Ophthalmology

Michael B. Yang, MD, investigates the predictive factors associated with the development of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including potential seasonal variations in day length at various times after conception. He also participates in multi-center studies that are evaluating the lowest effective dose of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) antibodies for the treatment of ROP. Dr. Yang is also interested in the genetics of glaucoma and aniridia and works with other researchers on elucidating novel genetic defects.
