TEAM COOKE BAILEY LAB
TEAM COOKE BAILEY LAB
Team Cooke Bailey is a multidisciplinary collection of researchers aiming to understand primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using techniques and approaches from the fields of genetics, biostatistics, public health, bioethics, and health informatics.
How can we better understand glaucoma (susceptibility, progression, and response to treatment)?
EVALUATION
We aim to provide stakeholders with evaluation data to understand how community and clinical populations perceive (disease) risk information,
and what willingness those populations have to participate in genetics/other research
DISCOVERY
We aim to discover novel pathways that will help understand 1) the genetic differences of people of African descent that increase their risk of POAG, 2) the genetic architecture of glaucoma, and 3) the genetic involvement in POAG around protection., progression, and response to treatment.
DISSEMINATION
We aim to translate our research through an accessible lens that allows community, clinical and academic stakeholders.
