Current Research Projects

1. High myopia candidate gene search: A whole genome association analysis on an unrelated case-control high myopic European population (French/Spanish/Portuguese) using Affymetrix array 6.0 SNP genotyping.
2. Corneal wound healing: Expression of stem cell markers in a mouse cornea stromal cell subpopulation
