• regenerative therapies for skin (skin, regeneration, wound healing)

• molecular control of skin development, regeneration, ageing and carcinogenesis (skin, hair growth, wound healing, cancer, ageing)

• cellular, drug and gene based therapy for eye disease (rodent, AMD, vision, retina, therapeutics)

• stem cell therapies for retinal degeneration (retina, regeneration, stem cells, therapy, blindness)

• the role of rab GTPases in disease (eye, eye disease, gene therapy, aging)
