Jennifer Hocking is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Alberta. Her research focuses on the development and maintenance of photoreceptor morphology, particularly in zebrafish, a model organism known for its excellent retinal structure and function. Professor Hocking's work aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying the formation and stability of photoreceptor outer segments, which are crucial for vision. Her lab employs advanced genetic manipulation techniques to study the roles of specific genes in maintaining photoreceptor health and morphology. Hocking's findings contribute to a deeper understanding of retinal dystrophies and visual impairments, as well as potential therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
