Biochemical and Molecular aspects of Vision.   Increasingly, progress in the study of visual science is requiring multidisciplinary approaches that draw from the areas of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience and pathology. We have recognized this fact and have adapted this course to fit the needs of tomorrow's scientists. This course encompasses the basic science aspects of the eye. Subjects include retinal anatomy and function; biochemical, molecular aspects of retinal diseases and cataract; cellular and molecular neuroscience aspects pertinent to the visual system. The visual science course is offered through the graduate program of four departments- Genetics, Neuroscience and Pathology and Pharmacology. Class format will consist of lectures and discussion or current literature. The course represents a centerpiece of the new Visual Sciences Training Program at CASE.  This National Eye Institute-funded training program supports research by predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees working in most major areas of visual science.
