Research and Clinical Interests
The role of unique precursors for the mesenchymal cells involved in injury response and the lens fibrotic disease Posterior Capsule Opacification, the role of mesenchymal cells in directing collective migration/invasion as well as processes critical to cancer cell progression and metastasis.
