Team Cooke Bailey made a powerful impact at the 2025 ARVO Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, sharing new insights on glaucoma genetics and disparities in vision health. With a featured oral presentation by Lauren Cruz and a compelling poster by Jeffery Asowata, our team highlighted the importance of inclusive research to better understand and address complex eye diseases.

Two Team Cooke Bailey researchers were honored at ECU’s 2025 Research and Creative Achievement Week for their exceptional work in vision and population health. Kendall Pixley received top undergraduate honors for her BRIDGES-NC presentation, while Dr. Osahon Jeffery Asowata earned recognition for his poster on glaucoma disparities among older adults. Their projects reflect our lab’s commitment to addressing health inequities through collaborative, impactful research.

Ayobami Alimi and Dr. Osahon Asowata of Team Cooke Bailey were selected to attend the prestigious 2025 Advanced Gene Mapping Course at Rockefeller University, gaining advanced skills in statistical genetics and risk modeling to support our glaucoma research efforts.
