Ts’o is featured as part of the Fall 2009 Alvine Engineering Professional Effectiveness and Enrichment Program. Ts’o will discuss the basic biological and anatomical components of vision, their function and how they are connected. This event is free and open to the public.
When:
Wed., Sept. 30, 2009, 12:15 – 1:15 p.m.

Details:
Daniel Ts’o received his Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School where he completed his thesis work under the guidance of Dr. Torsten Wiesel and Dr. David Hubel, co-recipients of the Nobel Prize for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system. He completed his postdoctoral studies at Rockefeller University with Amiram Grinvald, Ph.D. Together they pioneered a new method for imaging the activity of the brain using optics. Ts’o currently runs his own laboratory at New York Upstate Medical University.
