Research Day 2009

This year's Research Day provided an opportunity for our clinical staff, residents, scientists, and medical students to update their peers on their ongoing and planned research projects. We were also privileged to have Visiting Professor, Dr. Marc de Smet from the University of Amsterdam as our Keynote Speaker.

In past years, prizes were awarded to the top two Ophthalmology Resident presenters, but this year two prizes were also awarded to non-Residents.

This year’s winners are:

Residents:

Dr Nigel Rawlings for "Assessment of age-related macular degeneration with a radial deformation acuity chart" (Top Prize)

Dr. Ken Roberts for "Performance of ophthalmology residents in evaluating optic disc photographs" (Second Prize)

Non-Residents:

Dr. Jeremy Murphy for "Role of endothelin-1 in rat optic nerve head astrocyte proliferation" (Top Prize)

Dr. Xu Wang for "Cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) expressing cells in the retina of Thy1-CFP transgenic mice before and after optic nerve injury" (Second Prize)

 

Congratulations to the prize winners and all presenters for their excellent work.
