About Me
Will Wheatley has worked in academic labs and biotechnology companies in Utah and California, with an interest in understanding how organisms work and how that knowledge can help treat human diseases. Among other things, he has worked on tissue culture cell assays of chemical carcinogenesis, bacterial expression of proteins for possible diagnostic kits, reagents for DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis, growth, and characterization of human glial progenitor cells, and finding proteins that are bound by the soluble prorenin receptor using biotin ligase and antibody pulldown technologies.
Working in the Roy Lab, Wheatley is excited to enter a new phase in his research career and explore the retina and how it can offer new insights into sensory processing and diseases.
