About

Frank studies how OPA1 mutations disrupt retinal ganglion cell function in dominant optic atrophy. His work focuses on how the membrane properties of these cells shift under the metabolic stress such mutations impose, which connects to his collaborative investigation of potassium channel dysfunction at the Barnes Lab. He is pursuing an MD/PhD with a focus on vision neuroscience and neuro-ophthalmology.
