Current Research Projects

Engineering Adeno-associated viral vectors for targeting specific subsets of cells in the retina and using these AAV varients for therapeutic gene delivery in the context of retinal degenerations

Methodology

  • Directed evolution of AAV capsids, qPCR, rAAV production
  • Intraoular injections in rodents (rats, mice)
  • Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, electroretinography (ERGs)
