Dr. Pierce’s research program is focused on improving our understanding of the genetic causality of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) and developing genetically informed therapies for these disorders. His work has led to the identification of several IRD disease genes, helped highlight the importance of non-coding mutations in IRDs, and supported clinical translation of genetic therapies for several genetic forms of retinal degeneration. Come to grand rounds to hear him speak about his work on December 1, 2023.
