Dr. Dale Carpenter an assistant project scientist in UC Irvine’s Department of Ophthalmology and is a specialist in the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1).
Currently, Dr. Carpenter is working on a research project with Dr. Steven Wechsler to identify how the virus becomes latent or inactive in the body, how it reactivates, and how it flares up again – or recurs. Recurrent ocular HSV-1 infection (herpes infection of the eye) is a major cause of viral induced blindness. In the United States, ocular HSV‑1 is a leading cause of corneal blindness, with more than 500,000 individuals having a clinical history of recurrent ocular herpes. Dr. Carpenter received his Ph.D. in Molecular Virology from Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Canada. His work has appeared in many peer-reviewed journals and he currently is an ad hoc reviewer for several professional publications. |
