MCW Graduate School CBNA student Heather Heitkotter at her poster today! EZ normalization ain’t so easy…

Come check out my poster at #ARVO2022 (F0050) to learn more about the impact of normalizing EZ intensity across OCT devices!

#ARVO2022 was an absolute blast and such an incredible experience! Truly inspiring to meet both new and established scientists, form relationships, and see some of the best science around. See you next year! 👀🐿

Wonderful to see so many inspiring people again at ARVO 2022. Here are a few special moments. (Not fast enough with the iPhone to capture all.) Thank you all for making the trip! @daceylab; Lengyel Group; @ORS; UAB Callahan Eye; Goldis Malek; @choroidlab; Katie M. Litts

Lab outing at Wisconsin State Fair ! Brea~ Milwaukee Brian Joey Kreis Jeanie Ching tzu Yu Hannah Follett @JennaGrieshop Mina Gaffney Medical College of Wisconsin

Thanks so much for coming to my table today at Breakfast with the expert Gabriella Hartman Aaron Goh Gustavo Rosa Gameiro Madhuri 🧑‍🔬 👩‍👧 Saoirse Casey-Power (Ní Chathasaigh de Paor) Aor_BK Hannah Follett 🥳🙌

Be sure to check out Gemma Mcilwaine at her poster C0212 today to learn about vascular changes in Alzheimer’s disease! #ARVO2023

This should be on your “can’t miss” list. Side question, why is OGTL Twitter-less???

Medical College of Wisconsin medical student Serena Zacharias gives her poster two-thumbs up! Stop by C0210 to see her findings on how different anatomical features of the fovea relate to each other. #ARVO2023

Well, she didn’t sing at ARVO karaoke last night, so Hannah Follett voice is in great shape to tell you about her efforts to measure ground squirrel eyeball size. Poster C0167. With co-author Jeanie Ching tzu Yu and a bunch of Twitter-less folks. NEI funded! #ARVO2023

‼️First-time ARVO alert‼️ Come say hi to Medical College of Wisconsin student Emily Kind (first-time attendee) at her poster C0107 comparing 2 methods to measure fixation in prematurity. Joey Kreis Brea~ @JennaGrieshop Heather Heitkotter #ARVO2023

Come check out our work on longitudinal imaging of parafoveal cones in achromatopsia (B0653). This is @MedicaCollege student Nick Chen’s first ARVO meeting! NEI travel award recipient and poster award finalist! #ARVO2024

Critical work as we begin analyzing AOSLO data in the NEI funded NAC Attack trial (B0651)- CBNA student Joey Kreis looked at R&R of cone density measures in patients with RP. Great collaboration with Jacque Duncan UC San Francisco. Come check it out!

At #ARVO2024? Stop by my poster (B0643) today to learn about AOSLO imaging with TWO wavelengths and TWO non-confocal detection schemes in the 13-lined ground squirrel! CBNA

Jeanie Ching tzu Yu getting some last minute stage instructions in the giant ballroom (6BC). Let’s goooooo!!! #ARVO2024

A final result from our NEI Audacious Goals U24 project. Our UW-Oshkosh colleague Dr Dana Merriman is presenting the first ever gene edited cone-dominant 13-lined ground squirrel. So proud to be part of this work. Hannah Follett Jeanie Ching tzu Yu CBNA

On the heels of another successful #ARVO, I'm excited to share more of our NEI AGI-funded work! We created photoreceptor degeneration in the cone-dominant 13-lined ground squirrel and characterized our findings with SLO, OCT, and AOSLO: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Joseph Carroll et al. study Seasonal Variation in ATP-Induced Retinal Damage in the Cone-Dominant 13-Lined Ground Squirrel, tvst.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…. AOIP Lab Medical College of Wisconsin

Check out our new paper! The 13-lined ground squirrel is a hibernator with unique seasonal physiology that extends to the retina. Using non-invasive retinal imaging, we looked at the variability of ATP-induced cone degeneration throughout the active season:

Stop by my poster B0500 today at #ARVO2025 to see high-resolution AOSLO retinal imaging in Tyr gene-edited 13-lined ground squirrels and learn more about the germline inheritance of their mutations! Grateful for my support from CBNA, MCW Graduate Student Association and NEI
