 My research focuses around ocular anterior and posterior segment physiology, pharmacology and cell biology, particularly with regard to aqueous humor secretion and glaucoma. My specific interests are: 1. Mechanism of aqueous humor secretion 2. Identification, functional characterization and regulation of transport proteins involved in aqueous humor secretion. 3. Pathophysiology of retina in relation to glaucoma. |
