Interdisciplinary Training in Vision Science - Translation in Vision Science

This course introduces students to the translation of basic science and pre-clinical research to the biopharma industry and/or clinics to benefit patients. The class will introduce how patient genetics can guide disease research in animal models and how patient tissue can be used to model disease progression/outcomes. Students will learn how results from these types of studies impact patient lives through the development of drug/treatment candidates and/or clinical trials. Students will be connected to clinicians to witness the profound impact of blinding diseases on patient lives and how scientific advances in disease research can motivate philanthropic funding of subsequent research.
