The Vision Cluster is having an inaugural virtual Meet and Greet for all 19 principal investigators. Researchers from one or more of the following themes will come together to find novel ways to treat blinding eye diseases while incorporating cutting-edge technical expertise.
Theme 1
Discoveries in the molecular, proteomic and cellular make-up of eye tissues.
Theme 2
Development of neuroimaging, computational algorithms/artificial intelligence (AI) to identify biomarkers that can distinguish between healthy and disrupted eye and brain function.
Theme 3
Advancements in tissue substitutes to restore vision.
Theme 4
Development of cutting-edge imaging devices to diagnose eye diseases and identify ocular biomarkers to diagnose brain diseases.
Theme 5
Exploration of the cultural significance of vision and vision-loss among Indigenous communities, and the current challenges in eye health faced by remote and marginalized communities.
