About

Dr. Rafael Grytz is an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, United States. His research focuses on the development of myopia, specifically the structural changes in the sclera and eye length variations. Recent articles highlight his work on scleral softening, the roles of epithelial sodium channels, and innovative models for pulmonary fibrosis using tree shrews.
