About
Biography
I am a research faculty member with a joint appointment in the Department of Ophthalmology & Vision Sciences and The Department of Surgery. I am an immunologist focused on how inflammation shapes healing in the eye.
My long-term goal is to restore vision by developing therapies that prevent harmful blood vessel growth and promote tissue regeneration.
