Goran Vukovic

Goran Vukovic investigates visual processing mechanisms in a university research laboratory in Spokane, Washington. His laboratory work examines how photoreceptors convert incoming light into neural signals and how retinal circuits sort color information before relaying it to the brain. His investigations explore cellular pathways and synaptic communication across retinal tissue. Vukovic received a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience and a doctorate in vision science.
