Research Interests
The primary objective of our research program is to understand the pathogenesis of cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus ocular infections by using mouse models and organatypic retinal culture models. Our current work includes the investigation of the role of autophagy, RIP kinases, inflammasome in innate immune responses and death of uninfected bystander retinal neuron
