Simin is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Optometry and Vision Science, focusing on tear film biochemistry through advanced analytical techniques aimed at investigating the lipids in tears. Her research primarily delves into lipidomics, where she identifies lipids in human tears, examines their antibacterial properties, and explores their destabilizing role in dry eye disease. Additionally, Simin’s work in tear proteomics involves developing novel mass-spectrometry methods, enabling the simultaneous quantification of multiple tear proteins from minute sample volumes. This method has been pivotal in characterizing tear proteomic changes linked to contact lens discomfort. With a PhD in Tear Biochemistry from the University of New South Wales and numerous accolades including travel grants from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Simin continues to advance the understanding of ocular health and improve contact lens-related outcomes. She is actively involved in professional societies such as TFOS and ARVO and contributes significantly through her publications and invited lectures in her field of expertise.
