Julie Lim, Associate Professor

Molecular Vision Research Cluster, Department of Physiology, University of Auckland, New Zealand

Julie is a biomedical scientist, and her work focuses on understanding the development of age-related eye diseases with a particular focus on the lens and lens cataract. Projects involve investigating the interplay between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants to determine whether endogenous antioxidant defence systems in the lens can be harnessed to elevate antioxidant levels in the lens and delay cataract formation
