Making sense of novel ocular neuroimmune interactions. [ 2017 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Holly Chinnery (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Paul Mcmenamin

Brief description It is becoming clear that the interaction between corneal nerves and immune cells underpin many inflammatory conditions of the ocular surface. Despite this increased interest, very little is known about the relationship between corneal nerves and immune cells in this outermost layer of the eye. This project will investigate the relationship between corneal nerves and immune cells during health and corneal inflammation to identify therapeutic targets to treat corneal disease.
