Ten teams are being recognized for their proof-of-concept ideas following Phase 1 of the Data Sharing Index (“S-Index”) Challenge, an NIH competition aimed at incentivizing data sharing

Four teams have won a prize competition aimed at integrating eye care and ocular imaging data into studies using large healthcare datasets in biomedical research.

The S-index challenge aims to incentivize and reward data sharing by promoting a new metric. Participants will be judged on their proposed methods for calculating the index.

Aqueous Humor Proteome Database includes comprehensive information on 1,683 proteins identified in aqueous humor--the fluid in the eye's anterior chamber.

Researchers from the Buck Institute have demonstrated for the first time a link between diet, circadian rhythms, eye health and lifespan.

The National Eye Institute (NEI) Data Commons now enables researchers to access data from patients with macular degeneration who participated in the Age-related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2).

Researchers for the first time analyzed genes in more than 34,000 people with glaucoma across multiple ancestries and found 44 new genetic variants that may lead to new treatment targets.

Scientists have identified a group of drugs that may help stop a leading cause of vision loss after making an unexpected discovery that overturns a fundamental belief about DNA.

New York University researchers created a “developmental atlas” of gene expression in neurons, using gene sequencing and machine learning to categorize more than 250,000 neurons in the brains of fruit flies.

A team of researchers has identified networks of genes that allow neurons to regenerate in animals like zebrafish.
