Biography

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder with no current effective treatments. Patients have a variety of features, including obesity, visual impairment, intellectual disability, and male infertility. My research focuses on testing gene therapies aimed at treating some of these features, particularly visual impairment and male infertility using mouse models of the disease. I am also looking at the protective effects of mutations in BBS genes against glaucoma.
