FOX Center Labs

Learn more about the dedicated laboratories in the Louis J. Fox Center for Vision Restoration. 

Charles & Louella Snyder Ocular Disease and Regeneration Lab

Through generous contributions from Charles and Louella Snyder, their retinal regeneration lab was established in 2012 to support retina research.

Optic Nerve Growth and Regeneration Laboratory

Research focused on understanding molecular mechanisms of preventing RGC death, re-establishing neuronal wiring, and recovering visual functions, which leads to providing new targets for preventive and therapeutic interventions for traumatic optic neuropathy and glaucoma.

Retinal Epigenetics and Genomics Laboratory

Research dedicated to unraveling the complex transcriptional regulatory networks that orchestrate the critical transition from retinal proliferation to differentiation and the subsequent determination of specialized cell fates.

Stem Cell and Neuroregeneration Laboratory

Working to restore vision loss, particularly due to glaucoma and optic neuropathy, which involve the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).
