Development of scalable,mutation-agnostic,genome engineering platforms for IRDs
Short Bio
Arjun Padmanabhan, PhD has been a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Xue Lab at the University of Oxford since 2026. He holds a PhD in Genomics and Experimental Medicine from the University of Naples Federico II, where he worked in the laboratory of Dr.Alberto Auricchio at the Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM). His doctoral research focused on developing a human-centric genome editing approach for Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa due to Rhodopsin mutations(RHO) . He subsequently continued as a postdoctoral fellow in the same laboratory, focusing on safety considerations in genome editing.
His current research interests in the Xue lab, centre on developing scalable genome engineering platforms to enable mutation-agnostic therapeutic strategies and to advance gene editing approaches toward clinical translation for inherited retinal disorders.
