The Department of Defense Vision Research Program has awarded the lab a $1 million dollar grant to investigate long term ocular injury from blast exposure! The interdisciplinary 4-year project will investigate ocular trauma using clinical evaluations and experimental animal models. The project will support 2 graduate students for 4 years. We are very excited to start on this project and are grateful to the DOD for their support.
Collaborators on the project are:
Ken Monson, PhD, Mechanical Engineering
Yingbin Fu, PhD, Moran Eye Center
Bradley Katz, MD, Moran Eye Center
Jason Goldsmith, MD, Moran Eye Center/VA Hospital
Robert Peiffer, DVM, PhD, Ocular Pathologist
