Role of lipid mediators in ocular innate and adaptive immune responses and neurodegeneration

Karsten Gronert - Professor, Optometry

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

My research team is part of a handful of laboratories around the world that is focused on elucidating the role and molecular mechanisms of protective lipid mediator programs that are essential for regulating and orchestrating routine and healthy immune responses and neuroprotection. Research in our lab uses in vitro and...

Defining Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroprotection in Glaucoma by Using OMICs Approach

Karsten Gronert - Professor, Optometry

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

We are focused on elucidating the role and molecular mechanisms of neuroprotective lipid mediators essential for inhibiting the death of retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma. We are interested in using single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics as a tool to investigate and understand the protective mechanisms in glaucoma pathogenesis...
