John E. Dowling

Research.com Recognitions

• 2001 - The Llura Liggett Gund Award, Foundation Fighting Blindness for his groundbreaking work in understanding the functional organization of the retina, including synaptic organization, electrical responses of retinal neurons, and the exchange of retinoids in the visual cycle. Dowling's discoveries have been essential to the work of virtually every retinal researcher over the last several decades.
• 1981 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
• 1978 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
• 1976 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
• 1972 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
