Research Overview

The title of my PhD research is “Mitochondria and retinal synaptic plasticity”. The research aims to investigate the role of mitochondrial dynamics in retinal ganglion cell plasticity, and develop a deeper understanding of the role this plasticity has in retina at different stages of development and how this may impact on adult response to stress.
