Congratulations to Margaret, a graduate student Andrew Garrett on receiving 3rd place award for poster presentation at our annual vision research workshop. She shared her findings on characterizing the role of cell adhesion molecules in retinal Muller glia.

Our next distinguished seminar speaker is Dr. Nociari from Weill Cornell Medicine. Join us as we dive into innovative treatment options for dry AMD and Stargardt disease. #Ophthalmology #AMD #Stargardt

A recent study from Linda Hazlett lab provides insights into how airborne particulate matter (PM10) disrupts the corneal epithelial barriers. Antioxidant SKQ1 reverses these effects, offering a potential protective strategy. Link to full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.taap…

Our next distinguished seminar is tomorrow by Dr. DeVries from Northwestern. We look forward to learning about how visual stimuli are processed by retinal neurons using advanced techniques such as optogenetics, super-resolution imaging, and computational modeling.

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Harold Junge from University of Minnesota as our next seminar speaker! He will discuss the mechanisms regulating blood-retinal barriers and their implications in Retinal Diseases." Don’t miss this insightful talk on cutting-edge retinal research! 👁️🧬

This year’s Wainstock Lecture features our own Dr. M. Roy Wilson, a medical research & health equity leader. He’ll examine the link between race & glaucoma, challenge conventional risk factors, & highlight key insights on disparities in eye health. Don’t miss it! #HealthEquity

We’re honored to welcome Dr. M. Roy Wilson, President Emeritus Wayne State University , as this year’s Wainstock Lecture speaker! He will discuss the misrepresentation of race as a risk factor for glaucoma and what truly drives disparities in vision health.

We’re proud to have our own Dr. Tomomi Ichinose, as this month’s seminar speaker! She will share key insights from retinal neurophysiology, exploring how preparations impact findings and what this means for vision science. Learn about her research: anatomy.med.wayne.edu/profile/fa7416

We’re thrilled to welcome Danny Saban from Duke Eye Center for today's seminar exploring the neuro-immune axis in ocular surface health and disease. He will dive into how the cornea’s unique cellular environment shapes sensation and immune response. Don’t miss this opportunity ..

On behalf of our chairs, we warmly invite all alumni and friends of the Kresge Eye Institute and OVAS Wayne State University School of Medicine to join us for the ARVO reception. RSVP: paperlesspost.com/go/y8pag0qURRQ…

Diabetes causes serious ocular complications-yet corneal damage remains under-studied. With a new $2.33M NIH grant, Dr. Elizabeth Berger aims to uncover the pathobiology of diabetic complications in the cornea and develop new therapeutic strategies. 👁️🔬 research.wayne.edu/news/wayne-sta…

Thank you to all our alumni and friends who joined us at the ARVO reception! It was wonderful reconnecting, sharing updates, and celebrating vision research together. We’re grateful for your continued support. Looking forward to seeing you again next year in Denver!
