Our researches focus on investigating the genotype and phenotype correlations in human eye diseases using methodologies in genetics, genomics, and disease modeling using retinal organoids differentiated from iPSCs.

1. Genetics in hereditary retinal dystrophies and development of gene therapy for RDH12 retinal dystrophy.

2. The role of NDP/wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in angiogenesis for familial vitreoretinopathy。

3. Investigation the role of PLEKHA1 isoforms in age-related macular degeneration.
