Rinki Ratnapriya

Professor Rinki Ratnapriya is addressing critical issues in the field of ophthalmology, with a particular focus on the genetic underpinnings of retinal and macular degenerative diseases. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine, she is dedicated to advancing our understanding of how gene expression regulations contribute to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other ocular diseases. Her research is at the forefront of exploring the intricate role of cis-regulatory elements in the development and progression of these conditions. By investigating the complex interactions between genetic factors and ocular health, Professor Ratnapriya aims to uncover novel insights that could lead to innovative therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating vision loss. With a strong commitment to translational research, she is actively involved in bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications. Her work not only enhances the scientific community's knowledge of ocular diseases but also holds promise for improving patient outcomes. Through her research, Professor Ratnapriya continues to contribute significantly to the field of biochemistry and cell biology, making strides toward a future where retinal diseases can be better understood and managed.
