Project Goals
This project aims to advance glaucoma understanding and treatment using innovative genetic and spatial transcriptomic methods.
Project Summary
This project focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying neuronal loss in glaucoma, which can lead to irreversible blindness. This disease variably impacts many eye neurons. Using a combination of cutting-edge techniques, researchers will investigate why certain neurons are more resilient than others. This work could unlock new treatments, offering a breakthrough in glaucoma therapy and eye care.
