UCLA-led team has received a $3.5 million grant from @NIH to study and develop treatments for the infectious disease #mpox. Their discoveries could help prevent the next global outbreak. ➡️ bit.ly/3TW38hI

Thanks to Drs. Renu and Anjan Kowluru for providing a matching donation of 25K. Their support not only helped @ARVOinfo to achieve the goal but also surpassed it, enabling them to support the next generation of vision researchers. You can still donate: give.arvofoundation.org/e/Q5…

Just attended the ARVO advance conference and it was nothing sort of insightful. The speakers @KumarLab_WSU @YanhuiMaOSU @kevinchancw @adbelfouda were exceptional, sharing their experiences on personal branding and seizing opportunities in the field. @ARVOinfo #Scicomm #ARVO2024

Join us in congratulating our @NEIDirector, Michael F. Chiang, for his election to the @theNAMedicine!

Ahhhhh Detroit that was so much fun!! First time I performed at Ford Field was singing the anthem there in 2006 and I remember thinking it felt impossible for a place to be that big, I was sooo insanely nervous - Thanks to those crowds this weekend for your endless energy and extremely loud scream-singing, you made us feel right at home. See you very soon Pittsburgh 🫶

The Eye on the Future (EOTF) contest by @NatEyeInstitute is a great way to encourage your high school teens to pursue careers in science. Winners will get cash prizes and a free trip to the NIH for a day of science, networking, and fun! Check out nei.nih.gov/EyeOnTheFuture

We are fortunate to have outstanding faculty members like Dr. Kumar @KumarLab_WSU. He is an @NatEyeInstitute-funded investigator and does not leave any opportunity to promote vision research. He serves in various leadership roles locally and nationally @ARVOinfo. Kudos!
Thank you to the offices of @HaleyLive and @SenGaryPeters for taking the time to discuss the importance of federal funding for eye and #visionresearch with @ARVOinfo AMPC member @KumarLab_WSU, @waynestate.

The St. Leger lab is on the lookout for a lab manager. We're stably funded with grants from the NIH to study the microbiome, nerves, and immunity of the eye and eye-related tissues.
Take a look and message for details!
