Jeremiah Lim

Jeremiah Lim is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Allied Health within the Department of Optometry and Vision Science at The University of Western Australia. He holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Melbourne, specializing in Alzheimer’s disease ocular phenotypes, and has additional qualifications in optometry and education.

His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s), retinal imaging, and biomarkers, with particular emphasis on translating ocular findings to broader neurological insights. Key projects include retinal hyperspectral imaging in disease models and improving eye health literacy in disadvantaged communities.

Recent work emphasizes mouse models for studying neurodegeneration, electrophysiology, and gene therapy applications. Lim has authored over 25 peer-reviewed articles, with notable contributions to retinal biomarker development and clinical optometry practices.

• Awards: Alexander-Guelma Clinical Fellow in Neuroscience (2019), Eberhard Dodt Memorial Award (2016)
• Grants: Perth Eye Foundation (2024–2027), Diabetes Research Foundation of WA (2024–2025)

His interdisciplinary approach bridges optometry, neuroscience, and clinical practice, aiming to advance early disease detection and patient care strategies.
