STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our lab is interested in inherited eye diseases and the genes and mutations that cause or contribute to them, and what they can tell us about the visual system. We carry out a combination of positional cloning and functional analysis of the wild type and mutant proteins in vitro, in cell culture, and in model organisms including zebrafish.
