The Retinal Disease Interest Group (RDIG)  and the Neurobiology Neurodegeneration & Repair Laboratory (NNRL) is  hosting a symposium  on the Emerging Horizons in Retinal Genetics, Biology and Disease.  An excellent slate of junior and senior scientists  will discuss their recent research of interest in the field of retina. 

This will be a hybrid event via Zoom and in person.

This online scientific symposium’s goal is to facilitate discussion of technical issues associated with studying the microbiome in a low biomass niche, specifically the ocular surface.

The symposium will comprise 4 sessions with 3-4 presentations per session. Sessions will address specimen collection and processing, methods for characterizing the ocular surface microbiome, and best practices for generating reproducible data. Discussions will follow each session.

Registration is free and attendees are welcome to participate in the panel discussions.
