The research position
will deploy advance imaging technology, including adaptive
optics, to study
capillary blood flow and hemodynamic regulation in the living
retina.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>By imaging
single blood cells in the living
eye, our research <span style="color:black">seeks to better
understand the blood
flow in the smallest vessels of the body and how this flow is
disrupted in
human diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma,
Alzheimer's disease and
others.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Research will
be conducted in
human patients and animal models of disease.<span
