Leaders in the field meet to educate physicians, researchers and the community at the 2012 Center for Vision Research ‘Inherited Retinal Disease’ symposium
On October 29th, 2012, vision scientists gathered to discuss progress in the treatment of inherited retinal diseases. We were so fortunate to attract leaders in the field of inherited retinal disease research from around the country, across the pond and within our own walls. Those in attendance included UF faculty, students, staff, and interested members of the general public. Below are some photos of the 15th annual Center for Vision Research symposium.
