UAHS

UArizona researchers led by Dr. Nicholas Delamere, professor and head of the Department of Physiology at the UArizona College of Medicine – Tucson, have identified a potential molecular mechanism that may hold the key to understanding how pressure is regulated in the eye. Funded by a $2.3 million five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Eye Institute, this research could help to develop future treatments for glaucoma and other diseases.
