| Clinical Interests |
Current Research: We use lipidomic approaches to define pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization and molecular and cellular mechanisms to elucidate the bioactivity of lipid mediators. We also study lipidomes in angiogenesis. |
| Research Interests |
Keywords: Research Interests and Goals: Lipidomic pathways that regulate inflammation, angiogenesis, and choroid neovascularization. Lipid biochemistry and biology related to human health and diseases including retinal degeneration. |
