Overview

Jan M. Provis is affiliated with the Australian National University in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on medical and biochemical fields, particularly within ophthalmology and molecular biology.

The scientist's work covers several subfields including Ophthalmology, Molecular Biology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Cancer Research, and Immunology. Key research topics involve microRNA in disease regulation, interferon and immune responses, RNA regulation and disease, hormonal regulation and hypertension, adrenal hormones and disorders, drug-induced ocular toxicity, and glaucoma and retinal disorders.

Among recent publications, several papers highlight their contribution to retinal biology and molecular regulation:

  • MicroRNA-223 Regulates Retinal Function and Inflammation in the Healthy and Degenerating Retina, 2020, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
  • Functional microRNA targetome undergoes degeneration-induced shift in the retina, 2021, Molecular Neurodegeneration
  • Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of the corticosteroid fludrocortisone in retinal degeneration, 2021, Experimental Eye Research
  • Preservation of the Foveal Avascular Zone in Achromatopsia Despite the Absence of a Fully Formed Pit, 2020, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science
  • A method for gene knockdown in the retina using a lipid-based carrier, 2020, Molecular vision
