Vision Research Workshop

Kresge Eye Institute, in association with the Anatomy/Cell Biology Department, is organizing its 3^rd Annual Vision Research Workshop on October 28, 2016 to highlight the research accomplishments of our graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants/associates, residents and clinical fellows. The goal of this workshop is to provide an outstanding opportunity for the vision community on the WSU campus to interact with each other and exchange ideas for possible collaboration. Lloyd Paul Aiello, M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Ophthalmology, Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School, Vice Chair for Centers of Excellence, Co-Director of Diabetic Eye Disease Center of Excellence, will be our ‘Distinguished Keynote Speaker.’

At this time, abstracts are being solicited from the vision researchers. Presentations will be judged by WSU faculty, post-doctoral and graduate students. Prizes for the top three presentations will be awarded based on scientific content and significance, clarity and ability to address questions.

We also encourage you to submit a picture from your work which could be used as the cover page, and the selected picture will be honored with a special award.
