Welcome to the Kerur Laboratory
The Kerur Lab aims to understand how immunological pathways contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In particular, we employ a range of advanced molecular, genetic and biochemical tools in cell culture and animal models to find mechanistic explanations for the pathological processes underlying retinal degeneration. We believe that a better understanding of the immunological pathways and cell-intrinsic triggers will help to unravel a promising therapeutic target to treat ocular neurodegenerative diseases.
