Welcome to the Hunter Lab
Dr. Hunter's research interests include mechanisms of light-induced retinal damage and development of non-invasive fluorescence imaging techniques to study retinal function in healthy and diseased eyes.
Dr. Hunter collaborates with the Advanced Retinal Imaging Alliance team (ARIA), which comprises researchers from the Flaum Eye Institute, the Center for Visual Science and The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester
