14th Vision Research Conference

RETINA CILIOPATHIES: From Genes to Mechanisms and Treatment

4-5 May 2012, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

http://www.visionresearch-conference.elsevier.com

Two-day satellite meeting prior to ARVO 2012

The preARVO 2012 satellite meeting will review the latest developments in retina ciliopathies including retinitis pigmentosa, Leber congenital amaurosis, and Usher/Bardet-Biedl syndromes. We will focus on genes involved in intraflagellar transport, photoreceptor outer segment morphogenesis, molecular motors and novel animal models that closely mimic human ciliopathies. Main emphasis is on human/mouse genetics, next generation DNA sequencing, proteomics, biochemistry, and cell biology.
