About

Colin Willoughby is a Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Ulster in the United Kingdom. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying ocular conditions, including glaucoma, through investigations of the trabecular meshwork and extracellular matrix proteins. Notable recent articles explore topics such as miRNA-mRNA interactions in trabecular meshwork cells, the impact of TGF-β on glaucoma pathogenesis, and genetic factors associated with tooth agenesis.
