Funded Activity Summary

My research focuses on optimizing treatment for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macula oedema; which contribute significantly to rates of vision loss worldwide. I am investigating whether genetics play a role in the development of this disease so we can develop a personalized approach to treatment. I am exploring whether there are risk factors for poorer response to current treatment. I am also investigating whether a new drug (Ozurdex) is a better alternative in remote communities.
