Professor Emerita of Cell Biology, Development and Physiology*
*And Affiliate, Division of Neurobiology
Research Interests
Our lab investigated the roles of the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons in the morphogenesis and survival of vertebrate retinal photoreceptors. Though research still continues in collaborations, Dr. Burnside has closed the lab at Berkeley and is no longer taking students or post-docs.
