Lacritin-incorporated nanoparticles as new and improved treatment of dry eye disease
We are developing the protein lacritin, which is found in tears, to become a medicine for dry eye disease.
-
The ocular microbiota and its role in health and dry eye disease
Our aim is to identify microbial risk profiles for disease development and severity by in-depth characterizations of the ocular microbiota of dry eye disease sufferers.
