Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (WUST) is seeking to recruit a
post-doc to contribute to the project titled: “Post-cataract surgery dry eye as
a platform for the development of reliable models of dry eye disease supporting
its diagnosis and assessment” funded by the National Science Centre of Poland
within SONATA BIS-11 programme. The project, led by prof. Dorota
Szczesna-Iskander, has multidisciplinary character and involves specialists from
biomedical engineering, physics, chemistry and medicine. T</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">he aim of this collaborative
research project is to develop reliable metrics for supporting diagnosis and
assessment of dry eye disease and</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> provide the opportunity to study the effect of
cataract surgery on ocular surface and the risk factors that predispose to
develop the disease after surgeries.</span></p>
