Biography
Dr. Neuringer’s major areas of research include 1) the development and characterization of nonhuman primate models of retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly, and photoreceptor degenerations; 2) preclinical studies of gene and cell-based therapies for retinal disease; 3) the role of nutritional factors – particularly omega-3 fatty acids and carotenoids – in retinal and brain development, aging and disease; and 4) cognitive development and aging.
