*Students*: Engaged in both laboratory-based and clinical research, our
students are working with faculty advisors whose research matches their own
interests. Current research topics include Biomedical Optics, Psychology
and Perception, Molecular and Cell Biology, Neuroscience and Neurobiology,
Computational Vision, Clinical Science, and many more. Watch a video
featuring the students’ interviews: http://youtu.be/xqglO-PdJwU. Explore
our faculty profiles here:

*Alumni*: UC Berkeley Vision Science alumni are represented on the faculty
of world-class universities - in medical schools, schools of optometry, and
a wide range of other disciplines spanning psychology, physiology,
bioengineering, and ophthalmology. Many others hold research positions in
private institutes and federally sponsored agencies, including NASA and the
NIH. Still others are to be found in the research and development divisions
of industry; currently, ophthalmic and biotechnology companies are among
the major recruiters of our graduates. Watch a video featuring the alumni’s
