Timothy Blenkinsop's laboratory works to understand the basic biology of the adult human eye in an effort to reveal mechanisms for regeneration. We are currently focused on RPE and RPE related diseases. Our approach is to develop in vitro models of the adult human RPE layer from human donors with RPE related disease in order to more carefully study disease pathology and identify compounds that can improve disease progression. We also explore the epigenetic state of RPE in normal and pathological conditions in order to understand how the cell state is regulating gene expression. Finally, we are attempting to develop a transplantation method whereby healthy human RPE from donors can be transplanted into patients where RPE are damaged or lost to preserve or improve vision.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
