Our research focuses on the molecular genetic basis of eye diseases including; cataracts, glaucoma and eye movement disorders.

Glaucoma: The diagnostic and therapeutic assessment of glaucoma, including pharmacological, surgical, and laser treatment, patient support and decision making models in glaucoma.

My laboratory studes how the brain, and especially the cerebral cortex, combines sensory information with higher order cognition (rules, memory, etc.) in order to drive motor commands. Much of our work is focused on spatial processing for guiding eye and arm movements.

Studies in my laboratory aim to determine the role of ATP-mediated (purinergic) neurotransmission in the mammalian retina. 

Dr. Tychsen’s laboratory work is focused broadly on development of binocular vision in infant humans and monkeys, and specifically on neural mechanisms in strabismus (the clinical disorder of crossed-eyes)
