Miranda Scalabrino is an Assistant Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute. Her research focuses on understanding the changes in retinal circuitry that occur in inherited retinal diseases and evaluating responses to biological therapies, including gene therapy and cell replacement. The Scalabrino Lab employs a variety of techniques to achieve a comprehensive understanding of retinal health and function. These methods include electrophysiology, specifically multielectrode array recordings and electroretinography, as well as live animal retinal imaging through optical coherence tomography and fundoscopy. The lab also utilizes histological techniques like confocal microscopy, molecular biology methods including viral vectors and gene editing, and behavior studies such as prey capture assessments. Scalabrino's work aims to integrate these diverse approaches to address challenges in restoring vision and enhancing retinal health.
