    Collapse Overview
    My lab leverages stem cells and genetic engineering to uncover the basic biology of eye development. It is hoped that a better understanding of how the eye forms will give us new tools to combat debilitating eye diseases like glaucoma, retinitis pigments and age-related macular degeneration.
