Douglas Borchman, Ph.D.
KY Lions Eye Center, Rm 413
Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences
Douglas Borchman’s research is focused on ophthalmology and visual sciences, where his team recently characterized changes in human lens lipid composition with regard to age and cataract. This research led to the discovery of dihydrosphingomyelin, a major lens phospholipid. Dr. Borchman is also leading a group of research associates in studying the structure and interactions of the lipid tear film, which has yet to be fully described on a molecular level.
