UW VISION RESEARCH CORE
The UW-Madison Vision Research Core is funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) since 2005, and provides vision researchers three distinct service areas; Ocular omics/quantitative molecular biology, Pathology & imaging, Animal models & eye organ culture.
Core staff provide the expertise and laboratory space to provide these vision research services, enabling us to improve the efficiency and productivity in vision research and ultimately speeding the pace of progress in vision research. The Core also provides subsidies for service/equipment use for NEI R01 PIs and those who are submitting NEI R01 grants.
Services and Instruments are Divided into the Following Modules
