Ongoing Research
- Pathogenesis
of vascular dysregulation in diabetic retinopathy
Currently engaged in research into the causative factors relating to the pathogenesis of vascular dysregulation in diabetic retinopathy. Utilizing a recently developed transcapillary co-culture system for culturing vascular endothelial cells under physiological levels of hemodynamic shear stress, we are investigating the effect that hyperglycemia has on cultured retinal endothelial cells and pericytes at the molecular level.
