Research Interest
Vertebrate eye is a unique sensory organ comprising of different tissue types derived from all three germinal layers. In most cases, point of origin and affected areas of an ocular disease are not only different but located apart, which further implies concurrent involvement of structurally and functionally different tissue types in most eye anomalies and diseases. Consequently, deciphering the underlying complexity of genetic disorders involving the eye often becomes challenging. My primary research interests are:
