Molecular Bases of Eye Diseases Course Lecture
Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Schepens Eye Research Institute, 20 Staniford Street, Boston, MA 02114. 2nd Floor Conference Room
In this course, we will strive for an understanding of the
molecular bases for diseases that target the eye. The goals of the course are:
(I) to explore the structural and functional aspects of the eye relevant to
understanding the pathology, (II) to review the manifestations of the disease
and its effects on vision, (III) to discuss current views and research in the
pathophysiology, and strategies for therapeutic intervention. For most
sessions, the basic science and clinical topics will be presented by two
faculty lecturers.
