Statement of Research Interest
Drug discovery for retinal degeneration
Retinal degeneration is a group of inherited eye diseases including retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration that impair our vision. Although much has been learned about the molecular basis of these diseases, they are still incurable. To expedite discovery of new drugs for these diseases, our group at Purdue University studies zebrafish retinal-degeneration models.
The research interests of our lab are currently focused in two directions:
1. Rapid drug discovey for retinal degeneration
2. Gene network for disease and drug action
Please see our laboratory website for the latest development:
