Researchers from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IBHI) developing eye tests to assess diabetic neuropathy and pave the way for earlier treatment are key partners in a consortium awarded $US1.1 million from the leading American medical research agency.
The US National Institutes of Health is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world. The grant for this project supports a research collaboration involving six universities worldwide, including QUT.
Professor Nathan Efron from IHBI's School of Optometry and Vision Science, who leads the QUT research team with Dr Nicola Pritchard, said the funding would link them with other leading laboratories to share knowledge and further advance the development of eye tests to identify diabetic neuropathy, a painful condition experienced by up to 50 per cent of people with type one diabetes.
