The Non Ocular Disease programme applies core biological and analytical expertise developed in ophthalmic research to systemic diseases. By leveraging genomics, multiomics, and cellular models, the programme explores disease mechanisms beyond the eye.
This work enables cross-disciplinary insights and extends the translational impact of research platforms developed at the GROW Lab.
Shared molecular mechanisms allow ocular research tools to inform broader disease understanding.
The Non Ocular Disease programme aims to:
The non-ocular disease programme applies core biological and analytical platforms developed at NNF to systemic and non-eye related diseases.
Core areas of focus include:
This work enables:
Together, these efforts support a diverse portfolio of Non Ocular Disease research, spanning various areas Cross-domain research scientists.
The Non Ocular Disease programme is led by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinician researchers with expertise in:
Close collaboration between laboratory researchers and clinicians ensures that research priorities remain aligned with patient needs and real-world clinical applicability.
