About
Divya is a postdoctoral researcher in the Cornea Genetics and Cornea Neuroscience Laboratories. In the Cornea Genetics Laboratory, she investigates the pathomechanisms underlying congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED) and advances the development of AAV-hSLC4A11 gene therapy as a potential treatment. In the Cornea Neuroscience Laboratory, she investigates neuronal-epithelial interactions in neurotrophic keratitis using human iPSC-derived trigeminal neurons, with a focus on corneal nerve regeneration and epithelial repair.
