RESEARCH POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Johnson Ocular and Biofluids Transport Laboratory
1. Cellular Mechanics and the Hydrodynamics of Glaucoma
The elevated pressure characteristic of glaucoma results from an increased resistance to flow that may be due to elevated stiffness of Schlemm's canal endothelial cell that flow passes through. In this project, we explore the use of targeted nanoparticles to lower the stiffness of these cells and thereby treat the elevated pressure characteristic of glaucoma. This project has been funded by NIH and is available at either the Masters or Doctoral levels.
2. The Role of Cell Phenotype Change in Generating Elevated Pressure in Glaucoma
The cause of the elevated stiffness of Schlemm's canal cells in glaucoma is unknown. These cells have an unusual lymphatic-like phenotype that may be altered in glaucoma. In this project, we explore this possibility and examine whether the cell phenotype can be altered with genetic engineering with the goal of curing the elevated pressure characteristic of glaucoma. This project has been funded by an NU McCormick Catalyst Award and is available at either the Masters or Doctoral levels.
3. Drug Delivery in the Eye
Drug delivery through both the cornea and sclera is an extremely important topic and yet there is no current model that can adequately predict drug transport rate through these tissues. This study involves development of a theoretical model and experimental validation for the transport of macromolecules through the cornea and sclera. This project is available at the Masters level, with the possibility of continuing the work at the doctoral level.
4. Diffusion and Entrophy
Generation in Chaotic, Deterministic Processes. Chaotic processes are characterized by random-like behaviors that appear to generate diffusion and entropy in deterministic systems. This is especially interesting in Hamiltonian systems since theoretical considerations indicate that the entropy of such systems should be conserved, and that such systems should be non-diffusive. The project involves the examination of several low order chaotic Hamiltonian systems to determine how diffusion arises in these systems and what metric is appropriate for characterizing the entropy increase that such systems generate. The studies will involve both theoretical and numerical studies. This project is available at the Masters level, with the possibility of continuing the work at the doctoral level.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Cellular Mechanics and the Hydrodynamics of Glaucoma
Glaucoma results from an increase in the intraocular pressure that leads to irreversible damage to the optic nerve, and ultimate, blindness. The increased pressure results from an increased flow resistance in the aqueous outflow pathway. This resistance occurs in or very near a unique endothelium that regulates fluid transport into Schlemm's canal. We are investigating the mechanical forces acting on the cytoskeleton of this endothelium.
Transport Through Connective Tissues
Fluid flow and diffusion through tissues is important for both nutrients delivery and waste disposal. These process are also essential for drug delivery. The studies are aimed at the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms by which fluid and macromolecules are transported through connective tissues.
Chaos and Diffusion
Chaotic systems are known to produce diffusional-like behavior in spite of the deterministic character of the governing equations. This project is involved with the use of diffusional behavior as a marker for the onset of chaos in various low dimensional systems. Using a unique method for detecting diffusional behavior, mathematical modeling is used to determine the validity of this approach, and to investigate the relationship between diffusive and chaotic behavior in low order systems.
The Role of Lipids in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) will likely be the leading cause of blindness in the developed world in the next 20 years. We have shown that lipid accumulation in Bruch's membrane, which is next to the retina, contributes to the development of AMD. These studies involve an examination of why this lipid accumulation occurs and how it might be prevented.
