The Swamynathan Lab received a new RO1 grant (RO1 EY039321) to support their work on the corneal functions of apicobasal polarity determinant Pard3. This 4 year, 2.4 million dollar grant will support their investigation on how Pard3-driven apicobasal polarity controls the corneal epithelial stratification, sensory innervation, and genetic stability. We are grateful to the National Eye Institute, NIH for their continued support of our work.
Stay tuned for exciting new findings from this project!
