Research Interests

• R21 EY033029
• Bai (PI)
• 08/01/2021-07/31/2024 (No cost extension) Development of a supercontinuum laser source interferometer with sub-micron resolution to understand tear film structure and function in dry eye disease
• The long-term goal is to develop a novel, high-resolution imaging system with a state-of-the-art supercontinuum light source that yields high signal detection efficiency for use in human tear film assessment and disease diagnosis and management.
• R01 EY034990
• Bai (PI)
• 5/1/2023-4/31/2028
• Correlating the microstructural thickness variations of the tear film lipid layer with clinical characteristics of dry eye with a novel optical method
• The long-term goal of this proposal is to characterize the microstructural thickness variations of the tear film lipid layer and their association with clinical characteristics of dry eye disease
