Current Research Projects

My primary research interest is the exploration of mutation independent gene therapeutic approaches for inherited retinal degenerations, particularly autosomal dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa (adRP) and Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). 

Methodology

  • Adeno-associated virus  (production, purification and delivery),
  • RNAi-based gene suppression,
  • Gene expression,
  • Cell and molecular biology,
  • In vivo models of retinal disease,
  • Morphological and functional analyses
