Molecular Genetics of Inherited Retinal Disorders

Inherited retinal degenerations such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are common causes of blindness. The overall goals of our research program are to improve our understanding of the molecular bases of inherited retinal degenerations and related cilia disorders so that rational therapies can be developed for these diseases.
 
As described on the Research page, we currently have 4 active research projects directed towards these goals.
