Maurice Chacron
McGill University
GRASS FACULTY
Investigates mechanisms by which we use our sensory systems (e.g. vision, audition) to interact with our environment. |
|
Fred Chang
Columbia University
Studies the basic mechanism of cell division using yeast and sea urchins as model organisms. |
|

Richard Chappell
Hunter College
Investigates the role of neural interactions in the retina. Efforts are curently focused on determining the role of ionic zinc (Zn2+) as a neuromodulator acting on retinal ion channels as it affects the processing of visual information. |
