Research Interests

I am interested in cellular, molecular, and behavioral neuroscience, particularly in the study of neuroinflammatory, neurodegenerative, and regenerative processes. Additionally, the Scalabrino Lab focuses on identifying both beneficial and detrimental alterations in the retina triggered by inherited vision disorders. Our goal is to utilize these adaptive mechanisms to create biological therapies that prevent blindness and restore sight in individuals suffering from inherited retinal diseases.
