Research Focus
Dr. Sina Farsiu's lab focuses on understanding glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, by investigating how the eye's drainage system functions. They aim to develop advanced imaging technologies to observe and analyze changes in the anatomy of this system over time and in response to different treatments. The ultimate goal is to improve early diagnosis and personalize therapies for patients with glaucoma.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
