Research developed by University of Arizona faculty members is among the inaugural class of 21 projects to garner funding from the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps, or I-Corps, which aims to guide research with commercial potential out of university laboratories and into the marketplace.

The UA team is headed by associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering Eniko Enikov, who, along with professor of basic medical science Gholam Peyman, developed a technology that would allow glaucoma patients to measure changes in eye pressure at home.

Enikov's I-Corps team includes Vasco Polyzoev and Emre Toker. Polyzoev completed his doctoral studies under Enikov's advisement and also participated in the top-ranked McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship, where his venture team developed a plan around the same technology.
