The National Eye Institute of NIH has given Todd Scheetz, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and ophthalmology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, and his research team a $1.1 million grant to study the optic nerve and drive early diagnosis of glaucoma, according to an Iowa Now report.
The research team is attempting through computational methods to classify biomarkers that predict the development of optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma before it happens.
