From Sancy

See below for details of Sancy's research...Do contact her if you're interested in finding out more.

Title of current project: An investigation into the genetic basis of primary angle closure glaucoma.

Research interests: I am an ophthalmologist working on the heritability of primary angle closure and ocular characteristics within families and specific populations. I am interested in genetic determinants that may predispose patients to visual loss from primary angle closure glaucoma. This is part of a study which will form my PhD in genetics and epidemiology under the supervision of Dr Paul Foster, Professor Shomi Bhattacharya and Professor Peng Tee Khaw. My other interests include ocular imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography for the assessment of angle structures.
