AOIP Young Investigator Seminar Series

A critical aspect of training is to be exposed to science outside of your institution. While most seminar series focus on inviting established professors to come speak, this trainee-focused initiative is designed to provide our vision science trainees exposure to individuals from other institutions at similar career stages. Not only is the exposure to excellent and diverse science an important component of training, but the opportunity to develop networking skills and build a larger peer group is beneficial in today’s increasingly collaborative landscape.

AOIP researchers featured on the cover of the McPherson Eye Research Institute InSights Newsletter - Spring 2019
The newsletter story highlights the collaborative work associated with the recent NEI U24 grant awarded to Joe Carrol, PhD, and Jacque Duncan, MD, of UCSF.
The research team will develop, characterize and disseminate two promising animal model systems that are closer to human visual anatomy and function than current mouse and rat models: the 13-lined ground squirrel and the tree shrew, both cone-dominant animals.

AOIP alum, Ben Sajdak, PhD, recently joined the McPherson Eye Research Institute as a Morgridge Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellow.
