Video - Explaining Dr. Swindle-Reilly's Work and Discovery
"Ohio State’s Early Career Innovator of the year for 2022 is Katelyn Swindle-Reilly, Phd, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering. Dr. Swindle-Reilly's current research interests focus on the design of polymeric biomaterials for soft tissue repair and drug delivery with focused applications in ophthalmology and wound healing. Dr. Swindle-Reilly received recognition for her work on treatments for patients with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and other retinal diseases. These patients may need injections straight into the eye up to 12 times per year. She has developed an extended release capsule that – while still injected into the eye – can reduce the timing of injections to once or twice a year." Reference
Dr. Katelyn Swindle-Reilly had received the Lois Hagelberger-Huebner Young Investigator Award from the Ohio Lions Eye Research Foundation.
