Joseph A. Bonanno studies the biology of the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, with a focus on how the innermost layer (the corneal endothelium) manages fluids, acidity, and cellular energy to keep the cornea transparent. Much of this work examines a specific protein (SLC4A11) and how disruptions in ammonia handling and mitochondrial function affect corneal cells. The record also includes some sports-medicine and clinical case studies.
