Meeting of @NatEyeInstitute ocular surface consortium.
8 linked collaborative projects with goal: delineate ocular surface innervation including corneal sensation, pain circuits, tearing reflexes.
Teams include @dukeeyecenter @HMSeye @BascomPalmerEye (others tagged in photo...)

Our study on RVF ocular disease is out! 😊 As the most common severe outcome of RVFV infection, ocular disease is vastly understudied. Hopefully this model can contribute to understanding pathogenesis and testing therapeutics. This project was a lot of fun!! – at Pittsburgh, PA
In this study, @MaddySchwarz1 sought to investigate mechanisms of ocular disease in a rat model.
