Area of research:

Dr. Susannah Waxman is a Postdoctoral Researcher with Dr. Adriana Di Polo’s laboratory at the University of Montreal.  She earned her Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Pathology from the University of Pittsburgh with Dr. Ian Sigal’s Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics.  Over approximately the last decade, her work has primarily centered around uncovering imaging-based insights into early sites of dysfunction in glaucoma, including the aqueous humor outflow tract and optic nerve head.  Specific focus has been dedicated to astrocytes and vasculature, with the aim to contribute to our structural and functional understanding of glaucoma’s underlying mechanisms.
