Research Interests
Dr. Miesfeld utilizes a multi-model approach to explore retinal ganglion cell (RGC) genesis and survival during development and disease. RGCs are the pathogenic target in neurogenerative diseases such as glaucoma, for which there is no cure. By investigating the natural progression of RGC development we aim to identify key factors that can be used to stimulate RGC growth, regeneration, and survival to treat congenital and late-onset diseases.
