The retina is the most accessible part of the central nervous system for genetic manipulations. Our newly renovated laboratory at the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute of Columbia University is developing strategies for the prevention or delay of retinal degenerations (Tsang S.H.,et al Science 272: 1026-1029
Tsang, S. H., et al, Science. 282, 117-21). Other interests include cell fate determination in the mammalian retina.
