Kevin Cruz-Colón was award a predoctoral fellowship from the Vision Research Training Program at the University of Michigan. Congratulations Kevin! He will be investigating how the ciliary outer segment of mouse rod photoreceptors remains a privileged compartment for light detection.

The long awaited Michigan summer has finally arrived and the lab went to celebrate by taking a canoe trip down the Huron River. Seems like a good spot to have weekly lab meetings.

Kevin Cruz-Colón is a graduate student in the Neuroscience Graduate Program. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Puerto Rico, Ponce. He is working on a project to understand the molecular processes regulating the membrane protein composition of the light-sensitive outer segment organelle in photoreceptor cells.
