"I study inherited degenerative diseases of the retina, with a focus on Usher syndrome. My research explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms driving this condition, with the goal of identifying potential therapeutic targets. I contribute to experimental design, data analysis, and collaborative projects that aim to advance our understanding of retinal disease progression and treatment."
