Biography
My research centers on investigating the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of Angiogenesis-driven diseases. The focus is primarily on pathological ocular angiogenesis which is the underlying mechanism of a variety of sight-threatening diseases such as Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and exudative age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Vision loss in these diseases begins in a common biphasic process characterized by initial loss of the preexisting vessel bed followed by hypoxia that triggers a secondary aberrant angiogenesis.
The introduction of Anti-VEGF drugs has revolutionized the treatment of these diseases; however, a significant subset of patients fail to respond. Therefore, inhibition of only VEGF may not be sufficient, and alternative therapies with non-VEGF targets are urgently needed. The long-term goal of my research is to identify such novel therapeutic targets, with specific focus on endothelial metabolic reprogramming, and to discover already FDA-approved drug(s) that could be repurposed to modulate the key proteins in the energy metabolism of angiogenic endothelial cells. Our lab uses the ProOx 360 and A-Chamber from BioSpherix Ltd for providing controlled hypoxic conditions during in vivo Retinopathy experiments.
