Mechanistic insights into the effect of pilocarpine on posterior ocular tissues
A funded position ($14,346 stipend in 2025 plus the cost of your compulsory fees for study commencing in 2025) is available for a motivated full-time Masters student to conduct an investigation into the effects of a novel eye drop available to treat presbyopia. In this project, the student will conduct an interventional before-after clinical trial to investigate the physiological mechanisms by which acute pilocarpine treatment may alter retinal and choroidal physiology in adults with presbyopia. They will employ advanced imaging techniques to assess retinal function (using multifocal electroretinography), choroidal thickness (using optical coherence tomography), and chorioretinal blood flow (using optical coherence tomography angiography).
This project will suit students eligible for a MHSc/MBiomedSc with an interest in drug mechanisms and ocular physiology. Read more and contact Dr Alyssa Lie with expressions of interest. Applications are open until mid-late May 2025 or until a suitable candidate is found, whichever is earlier.
