Program 1 Research Interests
The de Lima Lab investigates neuroprotection and regeneration of cells in the retina responsible for carrying the information perceived by the eye all the way to the brain - the retinal ganglion cells (RGC) - focusing on the disease model for optic pathway gliomas caused by the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1-OPG). We aim to investigate mechanisms that promote the survival and regeneration of RGCs and explore therapeutic targets.
