Mohammad Shahidullah My research focuses around ocular anterior and posterior segment physiology, pharmacology and cell biology, particularly with regard to aqueous humor secretion and glaucoma. My specific interests are:
  1. Mechanism of aqueous humor secretion
  2. Identification, functional characterization and regulation of transport proteins involved in aqueous humor secretion.
  3. Pathophysiology of retina in relation to glaucoma.
