Bela Anand-Apte Laboratory

Research

• Understanding the basic molecular mechanisms of ocular neovascularization with a special focus on Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) and Sorsby Fundus Dystrophy
   
• Examination of the physiological and pathological pathways that regulate breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier in diabetic retinopathy
