Great turnout at the MaRS Auditorium for the C2D2 Symposium today! Our PI Dr. Jeremy Sivak @DKJEI_UHN is on stage sharing how we use chemical proteomics to discover novel neuroprotective mediators to fight glaucoma. 👁️⚡️ #C2D2Symposium #Glaucoma #Neuroprotection
Presented my project on retinal astrocytes to the lab yesterday! 🔬 Exploring their function and working on isolation and culturing protocols. So much to learn and discover! 🧪🧠 #Science #VisionResearch #stemcells
This #VisionHealthMonth, hear from Dr. Valerie Wallace, Research Director and Senior Scientist @DKJEI_UHN, on: 👁️ Eye health and common eye conditions 🔍 Ongoing research at DKJEI 🔬 Clinical implications and future of vision research Watch more >> bit.ly/4u4l5dE
Congratulations to Dr. Jeremy Sivak, Senior Scientist @DKJEI_UHN, on receiving the Dr. Douglas H. Johnson Award for Glaucoma Research from the BrightFocus Foundation (@_BrightFocus). Read more >> bit.ly/3OPHLQo
Great day at the 68th Annual Research Day at UofT! 🔬 Proud of our lab’s Nadia and Nate for their great poster presentations. Also a fantastic keynote by Dr. Derek Welsbie @UCSDHealth @ShileyEye on neuroprotective therapies for axon injury-related neurodegenerative diseases!
May is #VisionHealthMonth 👀 #DKY: More than 5.5 million Canadians live with eye diseases, and this number is expected to double over the next 20 years. For more information on eye health and current research at @DKJEI_UHN, visit >> uhn.ca/EyeInstitute (link in bio)
Congratulations to @DKJEI_UHN's Dr. Jeremy Sivak (@SivakLab), who was awarded @_BrightFocus' Dr. Douglas H. Johnson Award for Glaucoma Research! 🎉 His work examines how #glaucoma damages nerve tissues in human eyes, uncovering critical links between eye pressure and disease.
👁️ We’re celebrating 5 exceptional vision scientists whose proposals were ranked among the most promising and selected to receive BrightFocus Foundation’s top vision research awards. > Celia Bisbach, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison > David Veysset, PhD, Mass General
Huge congrats to our PI, Dr. Sivak, for receiving the prestigious Thomas R. Lee Award from @BrightFocus! 🏆 This grant will fund our research into how eye pressure drives molecular changes in glaucoma using innovative donor eye models @DKJEI_UHN @KBI_UHN @UHN_Research
