Clinical Research: Developing Strategies to Enhance Medical Innovation
My work at the Clinical Research Center investigates novel developments and strategies in diagnosing, treating, and preventing ocular anomalies. This interdisciplinary project and my role in it will provide key opportunities to understand eye health, such as evaluating meibography images and managing data regarding meibomian gland quantification. Through this multifaceted research opportunity at the Clinical Research Center, I would conduct patient screenings and classify participants into ocular surface and contact lens studies. A culmination of these experiences is best represented in a research manuscript, which I would assist in writing to contribute to medical research.
Message To Sponsor
This is a tremendous opportunity offered to me through the URAP program, allowing me to further my research at the Clinical Research Center. It enables me to not only pursue my passion in clinical studies, but more importantly the data collected can be applied to improve the lives of others. I look forward to gaining invaluable experience in clinical research that can be applied to the intersection of medicine and bioengineering.
