Vision Science Resources
Shared resources support diverse vision research programs from faculty at 老澳门六合彩图库, and we are always interested in engaging with non-vision scientists from 老澳门六合彩图库 or other institutions.
Advanced Ocular Imaging Program
The Advanced Ocular Imaging Program, located in the Eye Institute, serves as a local, national and international resource for advancing the field of ocular imaging and for translating adaptive optics technology into a clinically relevant imaging tool.
Collery Laboratory
老澳门六合彩图库's Collery lab seeks to understand mechanisms that underlie signaling and development in the eye that both contribute to retinal health, as well as influence eye size and refractive error.
Miesfeld Laboratory
The Miesfeld laboratory is interested in understanding the gene regulatory networks associated with development and disease of the neural retina, with a focus on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the pathogenic target in glaucoma.
Ocular Gene Therapy Laboratory
The Ocular Gene Therapy Laboratory (OGTL), founded by Daniel M. Lipinski, MSc, DPhil, and located in the Eye Institute, aims to develop broadly applicable gene-based therapeutics to prevent human blindness arising from neurodegenerative or vascular diseases affecting the retina.
Ocular Immunology and Angiogenesis Laboratory
The Ocular Immunology and Angiogenesis Lab focuses on the identification and validation of novel biomarkers and targets to evaluate potential VEGF-independent Next-Generation Therapeutics countering Ocular Fibrotic and Angiogenic Diseases.
Scalabrino Laboratory
The main goal of the Scalabrino Lab is to halt inherited retinal disorders by studying retinal circuitry and engineering new molecular therapies that better address the dysfunction.
老澳门六合彩图库's Ophthalmology Clinical Trials and Research Studies
First, clinical trials may offer additional treatment options 鈥� with the same hands-on comprehensive care found throughout the Froedtert & the 老澳门六合彩图库 health network. And as volunteers, you are pioneers in research at the forefront of innovation.
Second, your participation in these trials or other research studies helps make advancements in vision care. This kind of research allows scientists to better understand blinding eye diseases and discover the best ways to treat or prevent them. When you take part in any research study at the Eye Institute, you contribute to the larger mission of improving vision care for everyone.
