Outstanding representation from our team at the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting in San Diego. 

Simon Kaja presented innovative work advancing our understanding of corneal toxicity associated with netarsudil, with a focus on epithelial barrier function and permeability.

Emily Krupa delivered an impressive presentation on particulate matter (PM₄ and PM₁₀)–driven neutrophil pathology at the ocular surface, highlighting the potential of ocular surface immune globulins to modulate inflammatory responses.

👏 Congratulations to Emily on receiving the Ocular Subspecialty Section Early Career Award - a well-deserved recognition of impactful, high-quality work.

Proud to see such strong science and mentorship on display.
