Research summary

Jason S. Meyer studies how the eye's retina develops and how it is affected by disease, with a focus on retinal ganglion cells (the nerve cells that carry visual signals from the eye to the brain). Much of the work uses human pluripotent stem cells (cells that can be turned into many cell types) to grow retinal tissue and 'organoids' in the lab as models of development and disorders such as glaucoma. This research aims to understand neurodegeneration in the eye and to explore repair or replacement of damaged neurons.
