Patrick C. Kerstein's research focuses on the development and organization of the retina, particularly how specific cell types called amacrine cells form distinct subtypes and how their connections (dendrites and axons) are guided during development. Related work examines how retinal blood vessels form alongside nerve cells, how toxic exposures like lead affect retinal cells, and mechanisms of axon guidance and disease-related protein spread in neurons. This work is relevant to students interested in neuroscience, retinal biology, and the cellular mechanisms underlying nervous system development and disease.
Publication output was moderate and variable over the past decade, peaking in 2020 with four papers but slowing to zero or one publication per year since then, with a mean of only 0.6 papers per year over the last five years.
