Our Mission

• Decipher the genetic and epigenomic mechanisms regulating photoreceptor gene expression, development, and maintenance.
• Understand the pathogenesis underlying blinding disease linked to mutations in photoreceptor transcription factors, particularly the Cone-Rod-Homeobox protein CRX.
• Develop mechanism-based therapy strategies for treating CRX-associated photoreceptor disease.
• Training the next generation of vision scientists.
