Dr. Pandiyan is working with the Sabesan lab group, which focuses on how the human retina enables the fundamental yet intricate aspects of our daily vision - color, motion, and so on - and how such visual capacities are disrupted by retinal disease.
Dr. Pandiyan developed an imaging tool that can measure the functional activity of individual retinal cells in living humans. This high-resolution tool can be used to identify biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic intervention in treating blinding retinal disorders.
