Dr. Musayeva's Research
Dr. Aytan Musayeva has a diverse range of research interests, such as corneal transplantation, ocular surface and dry eye diseases, glaucoma and retinal stress. In addition to these, she also treats keratoconus and keratitis as part of her clinical interests. Dr. Musayeva is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest information in both research and clinical care.
She is particularly interested in the emerging research on limbal stem cells. Limbal stem cell deficiency can lead to corneal damage and blindness in the eye. The application of stem cells to repair and regenerate corneal tissue can be a potential treatment for patients in the future.
Dr. Musayeva is passionate about both research and clinical work. After 11 years in the field, she still encounters new things every day. Even her colleagues with 25 years of experience agree that there is always more to learn. Dr. Musayeva stays informed about studies conducted by other university hospitals, believing it is important to understand what has been achieved and what still needs to be done. She feels this can be accomplished at UAMS.
