Research Interests:I study mechanisms regulating cell death in retinal degenerative diseases in Dr. Barry Knox’s lab. I use animal models and mammalian cell lines to investigate how specific genes may contribute to the fate of retinal cells, specifically photoreceptor cells, in retinal degeneration. |

"In addition to my primary investigator, I've had several other mentors," said Yung Lyou, who studies genetic eye disorders. "By collaborating with Frank Middleton, PhD, our Microarray core facility director, I've been able to run screens on thousands of genes at one time. That's interdisciplinary. I was also able to take a two-week course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, so that I could learn other techniques to help me in my research here." |
