Research
The Ocular Oncology Laboratory is dedicated to research leading directly to better treatments for ocular tumors. Ongoing basic research includes experiments that involve single-cell sequencing, epigenetic deregulation, immune microenvironment, and creation of a syngeneic mouse model for metastatic uveal melanoma. The lab actively translates new findings to the clinic.
The two major research directions in the lab are: (1) continue to use genomic techniques to identify new genetic alterations associated tumor initiation and progression in major forms of eye cancer, and (2) use cell-based and experimental models to understand the biological significance of these genetic alterations.
