After earning his doctorate and postdoctoral research he embarked on a career in vision research. In 2003, he initiated an independent research program in glaucoma and identified a protein, Cochlin in the trabecular meshwork. He brought the power of unbiased mass spectrometric multi-omics approaches in ophthalmology and vision research. His team aims to identify factors that contribute to intraocular pressure homeostasis and expand our understanding in this area in a comprehensive manner. He serves on the editorial board of several journals including Experimental Eye Research and PLoS One. He is the founding director of an innovative master’s program in vision science and investigative ophthalmology (MVSIO) and also the founding director of Miami Integrative Metabolomics Research Center (MIMRC).
