Contributions to Science
  1. My first project addressed intraocular fibrin deposition, the most common cause of failed vitrectomy, when I was in training. I developed an animal model of fibrin deposition and proved the efficacy and safety of intracameral tPA. Within 12-months of completing this project tPA was received FDA approval for human use and within a week we injected the first human with intracameral tPA for an eye filled with fibrin and watched it disperse and clear within an hour, restoring his vision. This became an acceptable procedure for use with post-operative fibrin and some types of hyphemas. My first project at Arizona was also with tPA This was funded by an RO3 grant on steroid-induced glaucoma hypothesizing it was from the downregulation of tPA from the trabecular meshwork in response to corticosteroid treatment. Our research substantiated this finding, but perhaps more importantly led to methods in technology to culture the trabecular meshwork and subsequently we were the first to identify an aquaporin (aquaporin chip 28) in the trabecular meshwork.

  1. As Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at The University of Arizona, I set up a number of projects to provide clinical care for underserved populations. Among them was  Proyecto VER which was a collaboration with Dr. Sheila West of Johns Hopkins University. This was a study of eye disease in Mexican-Americans. We discovered that this population had the highest incidence of glaucoma as they aged. As a result of our publications and subsequent lobbying of Congress, Medicare now pays for glaucoma screening for Mexican-Americans from age 55. This was funded by a large multi-center NEI grant.

  2. More recently, I hypothesized that GPR143 acted as a circadian switch in the retina pigment epithelial cells. Dr. Brian McKay, graduate student Rory Morrison-Colvin, and I performed a number of experiments to validate this approach and I subsequently wrote a patent with Dr. McKay to cover this intellectual property and potentially apply it to use in treatment on patients with macular degeneration with a combination of L-DOPA/carbidopa plus melatonin. We also created a continuous perfusion system to test this that was funded by The University of Arizona Foundation.

  3. I designed, secured funding, and completed a "phase 2a" open label proof of concept human trial that shows L-DOPA positively affects nAMD naive to VEGF injection. This was done with the support of local retina specialists.The results were published in 3 presented posters and in a peer reviewed article set for publication in the American Journal of Medicine in January 2021.
