RESEARCH INTERESTS
Retinal Pathologies and Treatments
A multidiscipline approach to understand the cellular mechanisms of retinal wound healing which occurs due to a variety of blinding retinal disorders (e.g. Age-related Macular Degeneration, Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy). A number of projects from bench to beside are continually evolving to enhance our knowledge to combat these blinding conditions.
Cornea and Trabecular Meshwork
Both the corneal endothelium (CE) and trabecular meshwork (TM) cells are special cell types in the eye that do not self-replace when lost in ageing or diseases, such as Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) (Yu et al., 2015). Understanding the disease mechanisms involved in both cell loss and potential cell replacement approaches are key areas of study within our group.
