Cell Biology of Vision

Welcome to Hosseinzadeh Lab, where we explore the fascinating world of vision research. Our mission is to understand and address vision-related challenges, particularly those affecting millions worldwide.

A Global Challenge. Vision impairment poses an enormous global financial burden, with the annual global cost of productivity estimated to be US$ 411 billion. Vision loss can affect people of all ages; however, most people with vision impairment and blindness are over the age of 50 years(https://www.who.int)

Our focus lies in advancing retinal organoid models, understanding the molecular mechanisms of retinal degeneration,decoding elecrophysiological activity of retina, deciphering the roles of Müller cells and extracellular vesicles.

stem cells-derived retinal organoids to model retinal diseases

Biomedical science: design device, electrophysiology

AI: Machine learning for Signal processing and omics

Enhancing the quality of life for those affected by retinal problems
