FUNDED!!! - Retina Research Foundation grant!
The lab was awarded the RRF research grant to work on the interaction between pcdh15b, cdhr1a and the function of calyces processes in zebrafish photoreceptors.

Carter is awarded the 2024 SURA award
This award will enable Carter to continue his studies on mertka and tyro3 during the summer. Well done Carter!
April 2024
Meet attends ARVO in Seattle WA, presenting his work on cdhr1a and pcdh15b linking photoreceptor outer segments with calyceal processes.
June 2024
The lab attends the 2024 MidWest Zebrafish meeting is St. Louis. Five posters from the Famulski lab were at the conference!!! And congrats to Deep Patel for defending his best undergrad poster presentation by winning the award for the second time in a row. Congrats Deep!

NEW Lab publication:
Meet Patel, W.P. Piedade and JK Famulski. Cdhr1a and pcdh15b link photoreceptor outer segments with inner segment calyceal processes revealing a potential mechanism for cone-rod dystrophy. eLife reviewed pre-print!
This work encompasses Meet's PhD project where he discovered that cdhr1a interacts with
pcdh15b in order to stabilize calyceal processes that are necessary for cone cell outer
segment integrity. His findings propose a novel mechanism that may contribute to cone-
rod dystrophy in CDHR1 patients.
