“Science has shown us that our eyes are more than just for vision, where they can have an effect on other physiological areas such as breathing! As I just begin my PhD journey in the Arble lab, my current interests are looking into melanopsin cells within the retina with using DREADD manipulations to see how these cells cause a change of breathing because of light! Hopefully, once my journey comes to an end, I’d love to be an impactful person in the science community whether that’s through academia and educating others or through industry and finding new scientific discoveries!” – Ayah Sbeih
