Molecular Ophthalmology Laboratory
The Macular Degeneration research program of the Molecular Ophthalmology Laboratory (MOL) has three main goals: to develop methods for identifying individuals at risk for macular degeneration long before the disease develops; to understand the pathophysiology of the disease sufficiently that conventional therapies (such as drugs and surgery) can be used to greater advantage; and, to develop methods for altering the function of disease genes that can be exploited by the Gene Therapy Group.
