Eva Burkhardt studies the expression and visual regulation of ZENK in the mouse retina.

Eva Burkhardt analyzes the development of refractive errors in mice, both with normal visual experience and with deprivation by frosted eye occluders (together with Frank Schaeffel). The mouse may turn out to be a valuable model for myopia studies because its genome is largely sequenced and because knock-out models are available.

Eva Burkhardt has considerable experience in immunohistochemical staining techniques which is valuable to all members of the lab.

Eva is experienced with most techniques in the lab and trains new students how to use them.
