Research
I am interested in age-related eye diseases, as vision is one of the most essential senses for human health and quality of life. Visual impairment—whether congenital or age-associated—reduces independence and profoundly affects overall well-being. Although I am new to the field of vision science, I bring a strong background in biology and cellular research, providing a solid foundation for exploring the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying ocular diseases. My goal is to apply this expertise to advance our understanding of vision loss and contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for preserving sight.
