[visionlist] 2010 Translational Research Conference at UC Berkeley

[Inez Bailey]

The Fourth Annual Berkeley Conference on Translational Research 

"Technological Advances and the Changing Face of Ocular Diagnosis and 
Therapy: Bringing Translational Research to Clinicians"  

Stanley Hall, UC Berkeley ~ November 21, 2010

This conference will feature presentations on cutting-edge 
technologies used in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease. 
Leading scientists involved in translational vision research will 
discuss innovative advances with important clinical applications in 
areas such as optics, functional imaging, and gene therapy. This will 
be a must-attend event for vision scientists and eye care 
professionals.

CE credits for optometrists are available, as are travel grants for 
junior researchers who agree to submit an abstract and present a 
poster (several of the best scientific posters will be eligible for 
cash prizes).  Registration includes continental breakfast, as well 
as lunch and a wine & cheese reception.

Invited speakers include:

Marcus Bearse, PhD (UC Berkeley): Advances in ERG/VEP

David Birch, PhD (Medical Center of the Southwest, Dallas, TX): The 
Use of Advanced Imaging Technology to Understand Eye Disease

Tom Budinger, MD, PhD (UC Berkeley): Possibilities for Non-optical 
Ophthalmic Imaging 

Artur Cideciyan, PhD (University of Pennsylvania): Curing Lebers 
Congenital Amaurosis 

Jacque Duncan, MD (UC San Francisco): Adaptive Optics Imaging as an 
Outcome Measure for Treatments of Retinal Degeneration 

Kenneth Greenberg, PhD (UC Berkeley): Ocular Neuromodulator-Based 
Gene Therapy for Retinal Degeneration

Cynthia Toth, MD (Duke University): OCT Image Analysis

Brian Wandell, PhD (Stanford University): Clinical Applications of 
Functional MRI

David Williams, PhD (University of Rochester): Adaptive Optics for 
Understanding Vision and Eye Disease
