Peter Campochiaro is a Professor of Ophthalmology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, where he conducts cutting-edge research on retinal diseases. He is affiliated with the Neuroscience Training Program and the Visual Neuroscience Training Program, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach. His research focuses on the neurobiology of retinal degeneration, particularly retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). He investigates the role of oxidative stress in secondary cone death in RP and the transition to neovascular AMD, exploring therapeutic strategies such as antioxidant supplementation and gene therapy to enhance endogenous defense systems. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in developing sustained delivery systems for anti-VEGF agents, gene therapy vectors (AAV), and nonviral nanoparticles for suprachoroidal delivery. His work spans basic science, translational models, and clinical trials, especially in diabetic macular edema and neovascular AMD.
