About

I specialize in ophthalmic research, focusing on stem cells, regenerative medicine, developmental biology, and genetic engineering of the human retina. My primary goal is to address retinal degeneration using a multifaceted approach integrating advanced techniques. I work with human pluripotent stem cells, including induced pluripotent and embryonic stem cells, and leverage organoid models, CRISPR gene editing, RPE transplantation, and 3-D nanofibrous scaffolding. By combining these state-of-the-art technologies, I aim to develop effective solutions for vision loss.

My research has yielded significant advancements in the field. I contributed to developing a unique retinal organoid model crucial for studying retinal function and disease mechanisms. My investigations extend to exploring axon pathfinding of retinal ganglion cells and optimizing cell patterning through stem cell applications. Notably, I have achieved the generation of large genomic deletions (15 kbp) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Through these efforts, I am committed to making impactful contributions to ophthalmic research and advancing our understanding of inherited retinal degeneration.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
