2. Research experience

From July 2020, I have been working on research of investigating whether changes in light-dark cycle impacts glaucomatous rat models and almost completed the experiment. At July 2022, the result came back with insignificant findings. However, we successfully mastered the way of building ocular hypertensive rat models. From here, we are planning to see impacts of supplements on glaucoma-damaged eyes.

3. Research grants

I awarded research funding for Young Researcher Program from Seoul St.Mary’s Hospital in July 2020 (ZC20MASI0593)
