Research Interests:
Our goal is to prevent vision loss and blindness due to diabetic retinopathy and neurodegenerative disease. We develop and apply functional MRI methods to detect the effectiveness of a treatment earlier in the course of disease than is currently possible.
Disease/Disorder
Diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa
Species
Human, rats and mice.
Methods
Manganese-Enhanced MRI (MEMRI).
