Researchers study potential cures for congenital blindness

(University of Akron) University of Akron assistant chemistry professor Dr. Adam W. Smith and his team received a grant for research that could have promising results for curing congenital blindness. The lab has developed a way to directly measure protein interactions and organization in live cells with a laser-based microscope. 'The results of our work will generate new insights into the chemistry of vision and potential cures for congenital blindness,' says Smith.
