The charity is delighted to expand its research portfolio with this fellowship opportunity and anticipates building a close, long-term relationship with the selected researcher. The fellowship seeks to identify and support a dedicated and ambitious early-career researcher who has a track record of delivering impactful research projects and aspires to establish themselves as an influential glaucoma specialist.
