Research in the Ocular Development Laboratory is directed at identifying the molecular mechanisms that regulate development, growth and pathology of the eye, particularly the lens. We use a variety of techniques to investigate the genes and signalling pathways involved in the cellular interactions and processes that control the development, structure and growth of the eye in the vertebrate embryo.
