Experimental Glaucoma Research Group awarded and funded

The Experimental Glaucoma Research Group at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital of Cologne and the Faculty of Medicine, headed by Univ.- Prof. Dr. Verena Prokosch, has received funding and awards.
The project “Crystalline as neuroprotective and neuroregenerative treatment strategies in experimental glaucoma” has received a grant of 201,000 Euros. This follows on seamlessly from previous funding for the project “Molecular Biomarkers in the Treatment of Experimental Glaucoma and Their Functional Impact on Apoptosis- and Regeneration-Related Signaling Pathways,” which detected Crystallins as important markers in glaucoma.
Dr. Hanhan Liu, a resident at the Department of Ophthalmology, was awarded the 2,500 Euro Glaucoma Research Prize of the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) Glaucoma Section for the paper “Crystallins Play a Crucial Role in Glaucoma and Promote Neuronal Cell Survival in an In Vitro Model Through Modulating Müller Cell Secretion.”
Leila Frühn, PhD, received a PhD scholarship from the DOG for her dissertation topic “Regenerative Role of Crystalline” and Dr. Julia Prinz, Clinician Scientist, has received a scholarship from the DOG.
