Glaucoma UK has awarded its first Pitts Crick Fellowship to Dr Giovanni Montesano, an ophthalmologist based at Moorfields Eye Hospital, with a grant worth £420,000 over three years.
In honour of founder Ronald Pitts Crick, the project would set out to develop ‘digital twins’ for glaucoma – accurate digital replicas of real patients – to get one step closer to personalised medicine.
‘It is a great honour to be awarded this fellowship and to carry on Dr Pitts Crick’s legacy in understanding the mechanisms of glaucoma.
