Gadiparthi N Rao · Memphis, Tennessee
Dr. Gadiparthi N Rao's lab focuses on the mechanisms behind retinal neovascularization, particularly in the context of diabetic retinopathy. The research aims to understand how a protein called GRP78 influences the formation of abnormal blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss. By investigating these mechanisms, the lab seeks to identify new therapeutic targets for treating retinal diseases while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
