Dr. Albert’s research focuses on ocular tumors, specifically melanoma and retinoblastoma. His work includes development of animal models and treatment for ARMD, and development of a rabbit model for dry eye. Dr. Albert’s work with retinoblastoma utilizes transgenic mouse models of the tumor to investigate the molecular biology of the disease and to learn whether vitamin D analogs produce tumor regression in these animal models. He also studies melanoma in a transgenic mouse model.
