Research
Featured Research Areas
Wang Lab‘s research focus is Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which is an eye disease that occurs in the elderly population. Our efforts are directed toward comprehending the fundamental mechanisms driving this disease and devising strategies to decelerate the aging process and mitigate vision loss in affected individuals.
Cell death
RPE cell death is believed to be a major reason for AMD and there are many ways a cell can die. Therefore, we're exploring how RPE cells die under stress conditions and in the disease.
