After obtaining a Ph.D. degree at the University of Pennsylvania in Biochemistry and Biophysical Chemistry, I pursued post-doctoral training at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena in membrane proteins. I subsequently obtained a faculty position at the University of British Columbia where my laboratory studies the structure and function of photoreceptor membrane proteins and their role in vision and retinal degnerative diseases.
