In 2006, Dr. Jane Sayer, a research scientist in National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, established the Sayer Vision Research Lecture and Award at the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, in partnership with the National Eye Institute at NIH. The lecture series honors her family and the memory of her parents, Winthrop and Laura Sayer.
Join people across the country to spread the word about eye health and strategies to prevent vision loss and blindness!
This event has been cancelled.
Speakers will include representatives from two NEI-led initiatives: (1) the Global Eye Genetics Consortium (GEGC), which was established in collaboration with Tokyo Medical Center to take a multifaceted approach to international research, training, and scientific exchange; and (2) eyeGENE®, a primarily U.S.-based network that has built a patient registry, biorepository, and genotype-phenotype database. Speakers at the NEI-hosted event will address research gaps such as the need to collect and openly share data from underrepresented populations, and lessons from GEGC and eyeGENE® programs.
The National Advisory Eye Council (NAEC) advises NEI on funding decisions, initiatives, and strategic planning.
