What We Do
We study the cell biology of the retina to develop novel surgical and pharmaceutical approaches to gene therapy for patients suffering from Inherited Retinal Disease. Our lab utilizes a variety of pre-clinical approaches.
Who We Are
We are a driven group of scientists, physicians, and students focussed on bringing the hope of vision to patients suffering from Inherited Retinal Disease.
Where We Work
We conduct our research in the beautiful OSU Peletonia Research Center, embedded within the OSU Gene Therapy Institute and down the hall from our Vision Research collaborators.
