Research summary
AI-generated

Logan Ganzen studies inherited retinal degeneration, particularly retinitis pigmentosa, using zebrafish as a model organism. Their work combines visual behavior testing, drug screening, and electrophysiology to identify potential treatments and understand how disease-causing mutations disrupt the retina's signaling cells (bipolar and photoreceptor cells). Much of the research focuses on repurposing FDA-approved drugs (such as carvedilol) as candidate therapies for vision loss.
