Research areas

I focus on basic and clinical research in the field of ocular inflammation and inflammatory eye diseases. My basic research include in-vivo models to study safety and efficacy of new treatments and clinical research on disease pathogenesis and patients' response to treatments. My goal is to elaborate our understanding of disease pathogenesis, explore new treatments and improve the care of our patients.
