11. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Cornea Genetics Laboratory focuses on identifying the genetic basis of the corneal dystrophies (inherited disorders of the cornea) and developing therapeutic approaches to treat the corneal dystrophies. The Laboratory employs an array of genetic analysis tools to identify causative mutations associated with inherited corneal disorders, and utilizes mouse and cell-based disease models to study the pathomechanisms via which the identified mutations lead to loss of corneal clarity, and thus loss of vision. The identification and elucidation of the genetic basis of the corneal dystrophies has led to Dr. Aldave and colleagues’ developing and testing molecular therapeutics approaches in these same cell-based and animal models.
