Dr. Pardue studies how diseases like diabetic retinopathy damage the eye and explores new ways to preserve sight for millions of people at risk.From the surprising ways diabetes affects vision to the cutting edge tools researchers use to study the retina, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how engineering and medicine come together to tackle blindness. Dr. Pardue also shares what motivates her work, how research moves from the lab toward real treatments, and why protecting vision is such an urgent challenge.If you have ever wondered how scientists study the eye or how future therapies could prevent blindness, this episode offers an accessible look at how biomedical engineering and neuroscience are working together to move vision science beyond 20/20.Learn More About Dr. Machelle Pardue:Pardue Lab: https://med.emory.edu/departments/ophthalmology/ophthalmic-research/research-groups/machelle-pardue.html LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/machelle-pardue-26aa4958/Support Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs – Donate Today: If you want to support the research you heard about on today’s episode, consider a donation to the Wallace H.
