The focus of the BiG lab is on the development and application of Bioinformatics and Genomics to vision research. We are affiliated with multiple entities across campus engaged in vision research and bioinformatics, including the Stephen A. Wynn Institute for Vision Research, the Carver Family Center for Macular Degeneration, the Iowa Glaucoma Center, the William J. Kimberling Usher Laboratory, the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
A surprise to no one, our very own Mark Christopher successfully defended his thesis this afternoon. Mark started off as an undergraduate student in my lab, and has been co-advised by Michael Abramoff and I through his Masters and Doctoral degrees in Biomedical Engineering.
