Rong Wen is a Professor of Ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Their research focuses on retinal ganglion cell degeneration, neurotrophic factors, and advanced imaging techniques like visible-light optical coherence tomography for retinal diagnostics.
- Department: Bascom Palmer Eye Institute - Ophthalmology
- Research Interests: Retinal Degeneration, OCT Imaging, Neurotrophic Factors
Dr. Wen's work bridges molecular mechanisms of retinal diseases with translational imaging technologies. Recent studies investigate inflammasome activation in glaucoma, sigma R-2/TMEM97's role in neurodegeneration, and development of anti-VEGF therapies.
Key publications (2018-2023) demonstrate expertise in retinal pathophysiology, including studies on lipofuscin quantification in age-related macular degeneration and neurotrophic factor-mediated photoreceptor protection.
