#Glaucoma lab investigating mechanisms of inner retina and optic nerve damage, retinal repair & models of neurodegeneration in the eye/CNS.







It's #TraineeTuesday! Meet Nathaniel Frost, a MSc student in Dr. Jeremy Sivak’s lab @DKJEI_UHN. His research is focused on examining the role of astrocyte reactivity in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Watch full video >> bit.ly/4cgB9TT



Excited to share my new pub in @FrontCellDevBio "In Vitro Retinal Ganglion Cell Differentiation & Enrichment: Do Subtypes Matter?" We review human RGC subtypes, markers, #glaucoma vulnerabilities & the need for subtype-specific #stemcell protocols for better therapies Link ⬇️


Congratulations to Dr. Jeremy Sivak, Senior Scientist @DKJEI_UHN, for receiving a 5-year grant through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (@CIHR_IRSC) for his project, "Uncovering a Novel Neuroprotective Signaling Pathway in Retina."





January is #GlaucomaAwarenessMonth — a time to raise awareness about a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Hear from Dr. Jeremy Sivak @DKJEI_UHN on: ✅ What is glaucoma? ✅ Current and future research ✅ Clinical application @UHN @UHN_Research @KBI_UHN @SivakLab
