Miami Clinical and Translational Science Seminar Series

Apr
11
4:30 pm

The Miami Clinical and Translational Science Seminar Series continues on Wednesday, April 11 at 4:30 p.m. in the Mailman Center for Child Development, eighth-floor auditorium. Jeffrey Goldberg, associate professor of ophthalmology, neuroscience, and pharmacology and cell biology, will present “Survival and Regeneration in the Retina and Optic Nerve: Bench to Bedside.”

The inability of neurons in the brain, spinal cord, and retina to survive and regenerate after injury normally leads to permanent disability, such as irreversible vision loss after optic nerve insult or in glaucoma. Goldberg will review significant movements in our molecular understanding of this pathophysiology that are now being translated into clinical trials.

Light refreshments will be served. For more information and to RSVP, contact Katie Lewitt at [email protected].
