Reece Mazade is a Research Scientist in the Pardue Laboratory investigating which retinal signaling pathways are affected in myopia. Dr. Mazade received his doctorate in Physiological Sciences and Neuroscience at the University of Arizona, studying retinal circuity. Prior to joining Emory, he completed post-doctoral training on an NIH NRSA Fellowship studying signaling pathways in visual cortex at SUNY College of Optometry. In addition to myopia, Dr. Mazade is also interested in understanding the signaling mechanisms that underlie visual processing.
