Biography

Research Interests

Retinal disease, glaucoma, degeneration of vision pathways, neuroprotection and pharmacological treatment strategies, intraocular pressure regulation, the role of the lymphatic circulation in the eye, neuroimaging and clinical trials

Research Activities

I have a longstanding and broad interest in vision science, covering a variety of topics. These include retinal disease, the neuropharmacology of glaucoma, glaucoma as a neurodegenerative disease, the regulation of intraocular pressure, and the lymphatic circulation. Studies in the laboratory support and complement ongoing clinical studies and trials.
