2006 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Samer Hattar mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Melanopsin, Retinal ganglion and Pupillary light reflex. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Rhodopsin and Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells. His Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells study incorporates themes from Light effects on circadian rhythm and Circadian rhythm.
His Melanopsin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Anatomy and Photopigment. His study looks at the relationship between Anatomy and topics such as Pupillary reflex, which overlap with Opsin. His research in Retinal ganglion tackles topics such as Retinohypothalamic tract which are related to areas like Lateral geniculate nucleus and Encephalopsin.
Samer Hattar spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Melanopsin, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Circadian rhythm and Retinal ganglion. He focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to matters related to Retinal and, in some cases, Pupil. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell biology, Pupillary light reflex, Anatomy and Photopigment in addition to Melanopsin.
His Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells study which covers Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells that intersects with Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells. His studies deal with areas such as Retinohypothalamic tract and Retinal ganglion cell as well as Retinal ganglion. His Suprachiasmatic nucleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neuropeptide, Lateral geniculate nucleus and Period.
Samer Hattar mainly investigates Neuroscience, Circadian rhythm, Retinal, Retina and Cell biology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agonist and Darkness. His studies in Circadian rhythm integrate themes in fields like Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Melanopsin.
His research integrates issues of Phosphorylation and Photopigment in his study of Melanopsin. In general Retinal, his work in Retinal ganglion is often linked to Visual behavior linking many areas of study. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Transcription factor and Thyroid.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Circadian rhythm, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Neuroscience, Melanopsin and Cell biology. His work on Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Light effects on circadian rhythm as part of general Circadian rhythm study is frequently connected to Public health and Light exposure, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells study deals with the bigger picture of Retina.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhodopsin, Biophysics and Pupillary light reflex. He integrates several fields in his works, including Neuroscience and RAC1. The research on Retinal ganglion and Optics is part of his Melanopsin project.
