Overview

Jero Calafat is affiliated with the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital in the Netherlands. Their research focus includes experimental studies within the field of eye research.

Calafat has contributed to scientific literature with a recent paper titled Optimizing RT-qPCR for sex-specific analysis of iron-induced retinal gene expression, published in 2025 in the journal Experimental Eye Research. This paper addresses methodologies related to retinal gene expression with an emphasis on sex-specific analysis under conditions involving iron.

Their collaborative work includes frequent co-authorship with several researchers, among whom are:

  • Miquel García
  • Gemma Manich
  • Sergio Rojas
  • Judit Pampalona

Publication venues where Calafat's work appears include:

  • Experimental Eye Research
