This researcher studies how the retina responds to injury, focusing on Müller glia, a support cell type that in some animals (like birds) can transform into progenitor cells capable of generating new neurons. Work in this area examines the signaling pathways (such as NF-κB, BMP/SMAD, TrkB, and retinoic acid) that control whether these glial cells proliferate and regenerate retinal neurons after damage, with implications for understanding retinal repair and neuroprotection.
Publication output was fairly steady at 2-3 papers per year from 2017 to 2020 but has slowed sharply since 2021, with little to no output recorded in most recent years.
