Our Research
Our lab aims to investigate the mechanisms that regulate the normal functioning of the corneal endothelium. The corneal endothelium is a single layer of non-proliferative cells that, when damaged, lead to corneal edema. Non-inflammatory diseases that arise due to the dysfunctions of the endothelium are called endothelial dystrophies.
Corneal transplantation is the prevalent treatment modality for these diseases. By identifying the signaling pathways that regulate corneal endothelial homeostasis, we can develop therapies to treat dystrophies.
