Description Single-cell sequencing of the ageing retina 
Organisation Stony Brook University
Country United States 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution My research team are experts at fish models of the ageing retina.
Collaborator Contribution This is a partnership to exchange knowledge between a leading Killifish lab (Hu lab) and the Clark/Ruzycki lab on single-cell sequencing technologies. The Hu lab provides tissues for preliminary data and the Clark/Ruzycki labs facilitate access to specialised sequencing technologies and data analysis/storage.
