Optical Coherence Tomography – Celebrating its Transformative Impact on Eye Care and Beyond
If you require reasonable accommodations to participate in this event, please contact the National Eye Institute at neinews@mail.nih.gov.
Recently, the 2023 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award was awarded to James Fujimoto, David Huang, and Eric Swanson for their invention of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technique that has revolutionized ocular health care.
In recognition of this honor and to celebrate the impact of OCT in vision health and research, the National Eye Institute is hosting a scientific symposium, March 18-19, 2024, at the NIH campus in Bethesda.
The program will feature lectures and discussion on a diverse range of topics highlighting current and emerging OCT applications in both research and clinical settings.
Data Science at the National Eye Institute: ODSHI Initiatives and the Culture of Data Sharing
Join the National Eye Institute's Office of Data Science and Health Informatics (ODSHI) at their NEI Informatics & Data-Driven Insights: Seminars & Dialogue Opportunities for Vision Health series launch! Michael Chiang, the NEI Director, and Kerry Goetz, Associate Director of ODSHI, will be introducing the series and discussing the NEI's perspective on the intersection of data science and vision research. The event will offer opportunities for dialogue with the speakers, and ask for audience input on future topics of interest.
