Interventional Genetics and Robotics for Retinal Disease (Kapetanovic Lab)
Our group works on vision restoration by interventional genetics and robotics. We focus on developing therapies for inherited retinal degenerations, the leading cause of blindness in the working population, as well as therapies for more common forms of blindness, the age related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal vein occlusions and glaucoma.
Retinal Disease and Repair (Xue Lab)
The Xue Lab is a translational research group investigating the mechanisms of retinal inflammation and degeneration in the context of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), uveitis and retinal gene therapy. Our aim is to translate improved understanding of disease mechanisms into clinical trials for patients with retinal diseases, and ultimately new therapies to prevent sight loss.
Clinical Ophthalmology Research Group
The Clinical Ophthalmology Research Group is led by Professor Robert MacLaren. Over the last decade, Professor MacLaren has been at the forefront of translational medical research into novel clinical treatments for incurable retinal diseases, and is regarded internationally as a leader in the fields of retinal gene therapy, electronic retinas and ocular robotic surgery.
Retinal Neurobiology and Optogenetics Group
Our research focuses on light dependent signalling in the retina and brain, including visual and non-visual light detection. We are also examining novel opsin photopigments and exploring their applications to optogenetics.
Inherited Retinal Degeneration and Gene Identification
Our work involves the identification and characterisation of genes that play a role in the development, maintenance and function of the retina and includes both visual and non-image forming tasks.
Circadian and Visual Neuroscience (Foster)
Our research interests range across the neurosciences but with specific interests in circadian, visual and behavioural neuroscience.
Circadian and Visual Neuroscience (Peirson)
Our research focuses on the non-image forming function of the eye, including how the light environment regulates sleep and circadian rhythms and how these responses are affected in disease.
Retinal Cell Biology and Degeneration
The discovery of a novel inner retinal photoreceptor cell, driving non-visual functions, has had a significant impact on the retinal neuroscience field. My research focuses on understanding the physiology and function of these photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.
