Identifying gene functions and genetic interactions associated with eye diseases.
Most of the eye diseases result from underlying genetic defects. While working at the Nishina lab, my current research interests include identifying gene functions and genetic interactions, leading to eye diseases. Such an information can provide insight to the underlying pathways which are important for normal eye development and whose disruptions/alterations lead to eye disease phenotype. I intend to apply both traditional and modern approaches for such studies.
