Professor Mahita Kadmiel's (Biology and Biochemistry) research program focuses on hormonal regulation (and dysregulation) of the eye. Although most of her research is done in the laboratory setting at Allegheny College, she is actively involved with collaborative research with Erie Retina Research Center. Some of this collaborative work involves mobile screening of patients for eye diseases, with the aim of increasing access to care for patients who might not routinely visit an ophthalmologist. In this episode, I chat with Ngwe Leku ('27; Biochemistry major and Global Health Studies minor) and Mitchell Devore ('26; Biochemistry major and Psychology minor) about a summer project that they did associated with the mobile retinal screening program.
