Chloe Thomas is a Post-Doctoral Researcher within the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Her research interests are in ocular injury and disease and the development of novel therapeutics and in the identification of biomarkers for traumatic brain injury. She completed her PhD research on cell death mechanisms in the retina and optic nerve after blunt impact and explosive blast ocular trauma (2015 – 2018). She then performed a post-doctoral research project researching topical therapies for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (2018 – 2023). Dr Thomas has undertaken research placements at Vanderbilt University, TN USA and University of Bristol, UK. She is now a post-doctoral researcher on the mTBI-PREDICT project working on the biofluids workstream (2023 – present).
