Research
- My current research focuses on novel gene therapy strategies for wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), a common eye disease in the elderly population. The aim is to understand and alter the molecular mechanisms that lead to progression of this blinding disease in preclinical models, with the final goal to translate these novel therapy strategies into the clinical environment.
