His extensive work on the photochemistry of the visual pigment rhodopsin has established the structure of the primary photoproduct using time - resolved vibrational spectroscopy, demonstrated that the primary cis - to - trans photoisomerization in vision is complete in only 200 fs, and revealed the excited state photoisomerization dynamics for the first time.

To further examine the morphology of cells and the localization of protein expression within the retina, immunohistochemical staining of both paraffin and OCT retinal sections was performed with the following antibodies (Table S1): human cone arrestin (for cone photoreceptors), rhodopsin (for rod photoreceptors), RPE65 (for the retinal pigment epithelium, RPE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, for astrocytes and Müller cells), glutamine synthetase (for Müller cells) and G0alpha (for ON bipolar cells).
