Yang Hu, MD, Ph.D
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe ultimate goal of the laboratory is to develop efficient therapeutic strategies to achieve CNS neural repair, through promoting neuroprotection, axon regeneration and functional recovery.
More specifically, we study retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and optic nerve in various optic neuropathies including traumatic, glaucomatous and inflammatory optic nerve injuries to fully understand the molecular mechanisms of CNS neurodegeneration and axon regeneration failure. -
Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Neurobiology and of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is focused on brain function, development and repair with emphasis on regeneration to prevent and cure blindness.
We also study the neural circuits that merge perceptions with internal states, in particular, visual fear.
The specific conditions we aim to understand and develop therapeutic strategies for include: retinal and optic nerve damage in glaucoma, and disorders of visual-limbic integration, such as visually-evoked phobias and PTSD.
