I’m a lecturer and principal investigator at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. Our lab focuses on diseases of the macular; primarily those that affect the retinal pigment epithelium, a single layer of support cells at the back of the eye.

We are interested in investigating a number of diseases that affect the central macular region including  age-related macular degeneration, and inherited diseases,  such as Bestrophinopathies and Late-onset retinal degeneration. 

We use induced pluripotent stem cells, created from patients, to help us understand and develop new treatments for these diseases.
