Scope of my research interest includes investigating first step of visual perception in photoreceptor cells of the retina. I study non-canonical mechanisms regulating phototranduction cascade and light adaptation in vertebrate photoreceptors. In addition, I deal with the mechanisms of generating dark noise in the retina. Over recent years, I got interested in discovering mechanisms of avian magnetic compass, since it is probably located in the retina of birds. My skills and expertise include electrophysiological techniques: recordings the current from single photoreceptors with suction pipette, ERG-recordings both ex vivo and in vivo, and getting retinal cryosections for precise analyte detections in different retinal layers.
