Responsible researchers: Dr. Aritz Urcola and Prof. Elena Vecino
1. Aqueous Humor
We study the biophysical and biochemical properties of the aqueous humor in patients with glaucoma and other ocular pathologies.

2. Trabecular Meshwork and Schlemm's Canal
Our aim is to characterize the filtering portion of the trabecular meshwork in tissue samples from glaucoma patients who have undergone surgery, employing immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy to analyze this tissue.
