Randolph D Glickman, PhD

Professor

Dr. Randy Glickman's research interests are in the areas of laser bioeffects and medical applications; photosensitized free-radical reactions in the eye; light damage and repair mechanisms in the eye; retinal information processing, photodynamic therapy, optical tissue diagnostic spectroscopy, ocular pharmacology (especially mechanisms of drug penetration into the eye). 

Current projects include: an investigation of the function of histaminergic retinopetal fibers, and the development of a laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopic method for detection of infectious agents.

    Grants

    Federal

    Funding Agency NEI Title Dysfunction of retinal neurons and circuits early in diabetic retinopathy Status Active Period 5/2014 - 4/2019 Role Co-Investigator Grant Detail The project is investigating the role of dopaminergic amacrine cells in regulating the function and dysfunction of retinal circuits and blood vessels leading to diabetic retinopathy (DR). Pharmacological modulation of dopaminergic retinal neurons is investigated as an adjunct treatment of DR. The research is being conducted using the Akita diabetic mouse model.

    Private

    Funding Agency BioTime, Inc. Title Developing retinal restoration approaches in a large eye animal model of blast ocular injury, with emphasis on neuroprotection, biomaterials, and ocular drug delivery Status Active Period 8/2018 - 5/2019 Role Principal Investigator Grant Detail This contract will be directed at using the rabbit model previously developed to test the delivery techniques, assess the tolerance, and evaluate the veterinary procedures required to transplant stem cells and biomaterials into rabbit eyes and then maintain the animals after the transplantation procedures. This work will lay the groundwork for future studies directed at developing stem cell-derived therapies for blast-induced ocular trauma. Funding Agency TxBioMed (Subcontract from Owens Fdn grant) Title Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Retina Progenitors for Treatment of Retina Degeneration Status Active Period 8/2017 - 3/2019 Role Co-Investigator Grant Detail Rats with genetic disposition to retinal degeneration will be treated with stem cell transplants. The ability of these transplants to restore or maintain visual function will be tested with ERG and retinal morphology assessed with histology. Funding Agency Mike Hogg Fund Title Early Detection and Spatial Co-Incidence of Localized Retinal Neuronal and Vascular Dysfunction in Diabetic Retinopathy Status Active Period 1/2018 - 12/2018 Role Co-Investigator Grant Detail Project goal is to develop an integrative analysis of several ophthalmic diagnostic tests to provide earlier and more sensitive detection of the onset of diabetic retinopathy.

    State

    Funding Agency Presidents` Translational Enterprise Fund (PTEF) Title EchoLase Imaging System Status Active Period 3/2018 - 2/2019 Role Principal Investigator Grant Detail Award is to support development of University-developed IP to the point at which it may be commercialized. We will develop the image reconstruction algorithm needed to use our PBDT detector for medical imaging.
