About
Biography
I am an associate professor of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. With expertise in ocular cell biology and physiology, my research centers on understanding mechanisms involved in fibrotic complication affecting the eye and vision.
I am currently focused specifically on retinal fibrosis, the endpoint of multiple diseases causing blindness, with my ultimate goal being to develop strategies to prevent vision loss. My ongoing work utilizes in vitro primary cell cultures in combination with in vivo models to study molecular mechanisms and cellular function related to two distinct retinal fibrotic diseases: proliferative vitreoretinopathy and wet age-related macular degeneration.
