Mark S. Blumenkranz, MD, MMS
H. J. Smead Professor of Ophthalmology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical Interest and Research
My primary areas of interest are in the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of vitreal retinal diseases. These principally include age-related macular degeneration and other diseases of the macula, and tractional syndromes, diabetic retinopathy, and complex forms of retinal detachment. I have been interested in the development of novel technology to diagnose and treat these diseases, including new forms of imaging, laser delivery systems, other microsurgical tools, and new drugs and drug delivery systems that inhibit new blood vessel growth, scarring and intraocular inflammation. I have been actively involved in translational research in the laboratory as well as technology transfer associated with that research for a variety of new therapies that have received FDA clearance and been introduced into clinical practice over the past 30 years.
Administrative and Community Service
I have served on the Board of Directors of a variety of voluntary education and service organizations, including the Corporation of Brown University, multiple scientific advisory boards and various philanthropic and research organizations. -

Wei Chen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Ophthalmology
BioMy long-term goals involve the development of a full understanding of key molecular mechanisms and the identification of corresponding therapeutics for human diseases. My research training and academic experience have provided me with an excellent background necessary in multiple fields including molecular biology, cell biology, medicinal chemistry, and biochemical pharmacology. As an undergraduate, I have learned numerous biology and physiology courses, which let me appreciate and understand biological diversity. As a predoctoral student, my research focused on the identification and evaluation of fusion proteins, gene therapy-based biologics, molecular modifiers and inhibitors to treat tissue injury or cancer. We first revealed a novel mechanism underscoring the regulation of metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function of epithelial cells by IL-22 during cell injury, which might provide useful insights from the bench to the clinic in treating and preventing more diseases, especially acute stroke/traumatic brain injuries. We subsequently demonstrated that autophagy was induced to play cytoprotective roles in numerous cells, which highlighted the potential therapeutic strategies for CNS neurodegeneration diseases or cancer by targeting autophagy. During my undergraduate and graduate careers, I also received several academic awards, including two times National Scholarship. For my postdoctoral training, I will continue to build on my previous researches in metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function regulations by concentrating on determining the role of mitochondrial thioredoxin metabolism in neuronal survival. These new scientific issues will allow me to address additional problems regarding the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and develop a neuroprotective gene therapy strategy to protect CNS neurodegenerative diseases/injuries.
