Shyam Sunder Tummanapalli is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of New South Wales, specializing in the identification of ocular surface biomarkers for neurological disorders. His current research focuses on tear-based biomarkers as a non-invasive collection option for blood, using serial repeated measures to determine disease progression and therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials. His PhD research involved identifying neuro-active peptides in tears, particularly substance P, as a non-invasive biomarker for peripheral nerve damage in type 1 diabetes, which is crucial for the early detection and prevention of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. He has received notable recognition for his work, including the Dean's Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis. Current projects also involve investigating ocular surface changes related to diabetes-associated dry eyes, markers of ocular surface inflammation in multiple sclerosis, and ocular surface biomarkers in migraine sufferers.
