First two days at ARVO have been great!

Learned a lot at #ARVO2025. Proud of the whole lab… Emily and Tian presented yesterday for the first time and did a great job. Our veterans Bogale and John presented today.

#ARVO2025 is going great so far! Learning a lot and enjoying SLC! Nice run this morning. Gizem did a great job yesterday. Emily (A0304) and Tian (A0421) are presenting today.

Proud of our Ophthalmology Research run/walk team “Eye C the finish line” (copyright FeleciaSowels). Strong showing today at the DoNot Stop race in Irving despite the bad weather forecast. It was a lot of fun!

Well-deserved brunch after our lab completed the Dallas Skyline run today. We were also celebrating the publication of our recent work demonstrating a non-redundant role for Lmln in photoreceptor health (DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2024.08.016). @UfretLab ⁦@UTSWOphth⁩

After a nice dinner with ⁦@WANG_LAB⁩ and evening walk, we say goodbye to #ARVO2024 with Gizem’s poster describing a novel gene association to outer retinal health. ⁦@UTSWOphth⁩

Another great day at #ARVO2024. Lots of great science, awesome fish, and nice views of the city. Bogale presented his work on signaling pathways regulating retinal recovery from sublethal injury. ⁦@UTSWOphth⁩

Great ARVO so far. John (Can) did a great job with his poster. And we went for our first nice 6am run. #ARVO2024 ⁦@UTSWOphth⁩

Insignificantly small, yet the only living creatures who are able to fully Experience and enjoy this awe inspiring gift from nature

Here is the link to our new Scientific Reports paper: rdcu.be/dxVLs Special honors on this one go to Yesh, Bogale and Seher. But it is always a village effort!

Celebrating that our work on Herc3 and retinal degeneration was accepted for publication at Scientific Reports.

Congratulations to Bogale Aredo for his recent #IOVS publication doi.org/10.1167/iovs.64.11.2 showing recovery pathways activated in a subpopulation of Muller cells after sublethal retinal light injury.

Farewell and Congratulations Luncheon for our @Yeshumenesh_Z at @HGSupplies Congratulations on your new endeavors. We love you, and we will miss you! ❤️ – at Lowest Greenville West, Dallas

Happy Belated Birthday Emily!

Before and after our nice lab morning run at #ARVO2023

Can (“John”) did a great job presenting his poster yesterday describing a novel gene association to retinal degeneration. We had a great time @ARVO2023!
