Additionally, reducing cone transducin protected females from sex-dependent accelerated photoreceptor degeneration. These findings suggest that transducin downregulation could be a promising therapeutic approach to preserve vision in Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Downregulation of Transducin Delays Photoreceptor Degeneration in P23H Rhodopsin Retinitis Pigmentosa In inherited blinding diseases, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), photoreceptors progressively degenerate, eventually leading to blindness. Unfortunately, effective treatments to prevent or delay vis...

Our new preprint is out.

Our study on Retinitis Pigmentosa animal model shows improved photoreceptor survival when rod transducin, a key protein involved in light signaling, is reduced.

Congratulations Raji! Wish you the best!

Ethics and integrity are hard concepts to understand without them.

In the space and time continuam of humanity, however minuscule life is, it provides an incredible opportunity to make a ripple effect. Those ripples last beyond our lifetime.

Which one are you?
Among scientists are collectors, classifiers, and compulsive tidiers-up; many are detectives by temperament and many are explorers; some are artists and others artisans. There are poet-scientists and philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.
