Congratulations to all our Stanford colleagues!
NIH funding together with committed foundations and the philanthropic support of our community gives us the tremendous opportunity to accelerate research, engage in high-risk, high-reward science, and make exciting progress towards developing improved treatments and cures for eye disease and vision loss. We are very grateful for these opportunities to rapidly transform lab discoveries into effective treatments for patients.
