VIRTUAL EVENT

Dr. Sun's work on glaucoma, the optic nerve, and astrocyte biology began in 2007 at Massachusetts General Hospital, when he characterized the morphological characteristics of optic nerve astrocytes in both normal and diseased eyes. He now studies signaling pathways that possibly regulate astrocytic changes, with the goal to understand the function and mechanisms of astrocyte reactivity within the retina and optic nerve during glaucoma and traumatic optic nerve injury. His research has received support from the Fight for Sight Grants-in-Aid, the Brightfocus Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health R01.
