About

Michael L. Risner is a Research Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the United States. His research focuses on retinal neurobiology, specifically studying the excitability and degeneration of retinal ganglion cells in glaucomatous conditions. Recent publications include investigations into sphingomyelin visualization in the retina and the role of insulin signaling as a therapeutic target in neurodegeneration.
