- Basic research activity focused on the study of para-inflammation and the role of growth factors on the ocular surface through the development of in vitro models. Immunohistochemistry, immunoenzymatic assays, and molecular evaluations on ocular fluids and biopsy samples.
- Pathophysiological mechanisms regulating ocular response: in vitro and in vivo studies.
- Imaging and biomolecular profiling of the ocular surface: from biopsy to impression cytology.
