Sudha K. Iyengar studies the genetics of eye diseases, using large-scale DNA studies to find genetic variants linked to conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, corneal disorders, and dry eye disease. The work combines genome-wide association studies (scans of DNA across many people), pharmacogenomics (how genes affect drug response), and functional genomics to understand disease mechanisms. Some projects extend beyond the eye to areas like speech disorders, kidney transplantation, and drug repurposing.
