Dr. Brooks’s research program integrates clinical, genetic, and basic developmental data to uncover the molecular basis of blinding diseases of children; its ultimate goal is to improve patient diagnosis/genetic counseling and to devise potential treatment/prevention strategies for these diseases. Currently, it has two major areas of focus: (1) the genetics of uveal coloboma, a potentially blinding congenital eye malformation; and (2) potential treatments for albinism, a disease of retinal development.
