Global Research Collaborations at PROTON

At PROTON, we pride ourselves on our global collaborative efforts, having partnered with esteemed researchers from over 40 countries to pioneer quality research in the field of ophthalmology. Our dedication to advancing ocular health has led to significant breakthroughs, notably through projects like the Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS) , OASIS and the Comprehensive Ocular Imaging Network (COIN).

COTS has been a cornerstone in reshaping the diagnosis and study of ocular tuberculosis, providing groundbreaking insights that have influenced global practices. Similarly, COIN has contributed ophthalmology with its advancements in image analysis techniques and software, setting new techniques in ocular imaging.

Today, PROTON is actively engaged with collaborators from approximately 20 countries, and our network continues to grow daily. The contributions from our international partners are invaluable, driving us towards making a lasting impact in the world of ophthalmology.
