Biography

Azadeh Tavakkolinasab is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. As a dedicated clinician-researcher, she possesses extensive experience in clinical trials research, with a primary focus on contact lenses and anterior eye diseases, particularly dry eye disease. Her research is passionate about investigating innovative approaches to managing dry eye, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Dry eye disease can directly impact the tear film, leading to ocular discomfort, visual disturbances, inflammation, and reduced quality of life. Given its high prevalence, dry eye is a significant public health issue that demands effective solutions. Dr. Tavakkolinasab's work explores the systemic connections of dry eye, including the roles of the immune system, gut microbiome, and nutritional factors in reducing inflammation. She employs a comprehensive approach to investigate dry eye clinical signs and symptoms, utilizing advanced imaging technologies such as confocal microscopy, tear film biochemistry, and both culture-dependent and culture-independent microbial techniques. Dr. Tavakkolinasab hopes that her work will enhance the lives of those suffering from dry eye and contribute to a greater understanding of the management of inflammatory diseases of the eye.
