My area of expertise is in molecular biology, and I use this ability to contribute to the design, implementation and analysis of experiments involving such techniques as RT-PCR, catalytic RNAs, primer design, DNA/RNA sequence analysis and plasmid/virus construction.
My research involves the examination of the pathologies associated with neovascularization in the different types of retinopathies (e.g., retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR)). To do this we use two mouse models that result in ischemic injury to the retina and damage the blood vessels of the retina.
