The Organization of the Retina and Visual System
We are off to ARVO 2016 in Seattle, Washington to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and ophthalmologists in the world. It’s the annual meeting of researchers and clinicians presenting and discussing all things vision and ophthalmology.
If you are going to be at ARVO and want to meet up, leave us a comment here or send a Tweet to @Webvision1 and if you are on Twitter, be sure to use the #ARVO2016.
Look forward to seeing you there.
We are on our way to ARVO, 2015 in Denver, Colorado to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and clinicians in the world. It’s the annual meeting of researchers presenting and discussing all things vision and ophthalmology.

At this year’s ARVO meeting in Denver, please join us for a session honoring the memory of Dr. Harris Ripps.
Tuesday 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Room 708/710/712
Dr. Harris Ripps (1927 – 2014), Proctor Medal winner and past ARVO President, devoted his scientific career to studies on the retina and on causes of visual loss in inherited retinal diseases. He made significant contributions in many areas of vision research, including the kinetics of visual pigment bleaching and regeneration, electrical and chemical communication among retinal neurons and glia, and the cellular mechanisms of retinal degeneration. This memorial session will celebrate Dr. Ripps’ long time vision research career with talks by several his colleagues and students. The audience is welcome to contribute remarks during the open period of the session.
Session chair: John Dowling, Ph.D., Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University
Speakers:
Bradford Ripps, O.D., Total Eyecare, New Jersey
Richard Chappell, Ph.D., Marine Biological Laboratory, Massachusetts
David Pepperberg, Ph.D., Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago
Robert Paul Malchow, Ph.D., Department of Biological Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago
Haohua Qian, Ph.D., National Eye Institute
Muna Naash, Ph.D., Department of Cell Biology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
John O’Brien, Ph.D., Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, University of Texas
Wen Shen, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Science, Florida Atlantic University
We are on our way to ARVO, 2014 in Orlando, Florida to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and clinicians in the world. It’s the annual meeting of researchers presenting and discussing all things vision and ophthalmology and a large group from the Moran Eye Center will be going.
Over the next few days, you will see some of our research abstracts appear here as the presentations are completed at ARVO. We hope that it will give some insight into the work that goes on here at the Moran Eye Center and our passion for understanding vision and what goes wrong in blinding diseases.
If you are going to be at ARVO and want to meet up, or want to come to the big soirée on Monday night (open bar) celebrating Wolfgang Baehr’s Proctor Medal Award, leave us a comment here or send a Tweet to @BWJones. We might even be able to work you into the Moran social on Monday the 2nd…
Look forward to seeing you there.
Webvision is proud to announce that our colleague here at the University of Utah‘s Moran Eye Center researcher Wolfgang Baehr, Ph.D., has been named by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), as the 2014 recipient of the Proctor Medal —considered to be the highest honor in the world awarded to scientists working in vision research. The award will be presented to Dr. Baehr during the ARVO 2014 Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., scheduled for May 4 — 8. Dr. Baehr was chosen as the recipient of the Proctor Medal for a lifetime of achievements including his work in discovering mechanisms underlying retinal diseases.
P.S. Drop us a line if you’d like to celebrate with us on Monday, May 5th in Orlando, Florida.
It is now less than a month before the 2014 ARVO, this year being held in Orlando, Florida and many folks will be starting to put their posters together for the meeting. Ideally, you should have already started, and there are many ways to do it, but judging from the Webvision server logs, lots of folks are looking for hints/clues or instructions on how to make their posters. I presume that much of this traffic is from folks who are unexperienced in presenting their work in poster form, so consider this a short primer of sorts on how to design and create a poster that will effectively communicate your work.

During the holiday break, I finally managed to get a chance to go back through some imagery from the last ARVO. For those that were waiting for the images, my apologies. At least they are done before the 2014 ARVO… See you in Orlando, Florida!
This abstract was presented today at the Association for Research in Vision and Opthalmology (ARVO) meetings in Seattle, Washington by Steven J. Fliesler, Christopher C. Goulah, W. Drew Ferrell, Robert E. Marc and Bryan W. Jones. Continue reading “Retinal Remodeling in a Rat Model of the Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS)”
We are on our way to ARVO, 2013 in Seattle, Washington to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and clinicians in the world. It’s the annual meeting of researchers presenting and discussing all things vision and ophthalmology and a large group from the Moran Eye Center will be going.
Over the next few days, you will see some of our research abstracts appear here as the presentations are completed at ARVO. We hope that it will give some insight into the work that goes on here at the Moran Eye Center and our passion for understanding vision and what goes wrong in blinding diseases.

The Moran Eye Center‘s Dr. Gregory Hageman delivered a Congressional Briefing on September 20th along with the Alliance for Eye and Vision Research (AEVR) and partners AMD Alliance International, Alliance for Aging Research, Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), European Vision Institute and Lighthouse International. Dr. Hageman spoke as part of a Congressional briefing as part of International Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Week 2012.
Dr. Gregory Hageman, Executive Director of the Center for Translational Medicine (CTM) at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah related in his address that AMD consists of multiple biological diseases. Dr. Hageman continued by expressing that a convergence of clinical, biological and genetic data has led to a stronger understanding of the disease and new hope for the development of diagnostics and therapeutic interventions currently underway.
More details of the briefing are available on the NAEVR website here.
We are on our way to ARVO, 2012! ARVO is an annual meeting of researchers and clinicians who’s focus is on the visual system.
As happened last year, over the next few days, you will see some of our research abstracts appear on Webvision as the presentations are completed at ARVO. We hope that it will provide an insight into some of the work that goes on here at the Moran Eye Center as well as our commitment to understand the basic science of vision and cure blinding diseases.
If you are going to be at ARVO and want to meet up, leave us a comment here or send a Tweet to @BWJones. We might even be able to work you into the Moran social on Monday the 7th…
Look forward to seeing you there.

ARVO 2011 has come and gone. Its taken me a couple of weeks to get through the post ARVO chaos and get caught up on my own work before posting some of the snapshots, but here they are. If you’d like to post your snapshots from ARVO here, send me an email (webvision@hsc.utah.edu) and we’ll arrange to add them to the list and credit you appropriately.
We are on our way to ARVO, 2011 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and clinicians in the world.
