Chloe Moulin

Chloe Moulin is a graduate of the University of Vermont and a PhD candidate in Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Miami, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Her doctoral research leverages the Xenopus laevis model to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of optic nerve regeneration after traumatic injury. She combines high‑resolution confocal microscopy, live-imaging of retinal neurons, and advanced molecular approaches to compare regenerative dynamics in mammalian and amphibian species with spatial and temporal detail. Her work includes 3D-imaging to map axonal regrowth in-vivo and functional calcium imaging to track light‑evoked and injury‑induced signaling along the visual pathway. Through this work, she aims to identify targetable pathways for vision‑preserving therapies, with the ultimate goal of advancing regenerative medicine treatments for vision restoration.
