Research
Dr. Bisbach is interested in using human stem cells to model retinal degenerative diseases. She is using retinal organoid models to study retinal degenerative diseases and characterize the function of proteins involved in different types of retinal degeneration. This will allow the efficacy of therapies which restore function of those proteins to be developed and tested more easily. She is also interested in exploring the use of a new therapeutic strategy in the eye, targeted protein degradation. This strategy relies on inducing novel protein-protein interactions in order to facilitate degradation of disease-causing proteins.
