Presented by the UW Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences
Keynote Speaker: MOnica Vetter, PhD – UNiversity of Utah – Chair of the Department of neurobiology and Anatomy
Dr. Vetter’s laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular pathways controlling neural development and degeneration in the retina. The retina is of critical importance since disorders of eye development can lead to congenital blindness, while degeneration of retinal neurons can cause progressive blindness at later ages.
Featured Speakers:
- Michael G. Anderson, PhD, Professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics; Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences within the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa
- Amy Lee, PhD, Professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Otolaryngology Head-Neck Surgery, and Neurology Assistant Dean for Research within the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa

4:30 – DINNER BUFFET AND BEER TASTING AT VINTAGE BREWING COMPANY
ReGISTER HERE BY AUGUST 27
You are invited to a special Research Colloquium for a glaucoma research faculty candidate in the UW-Madison Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
When: Thursday, August 30 from 3:30pm – 4:30pm
Where: Health Sciences Learning Center, 750 Highland Avenue, Room 1309
Who: Colleen McDowell, PhD, Assistant Professor at the North Texas Eye Research Institute at the University of North Texas Health Science Center
Presentation Title: “Cross-talk of TGFβ2 and TLR4 Pathways in the Trabecular Meshwork”
Dr. McDowell is currently an assistant professor at the North Texas Eye Research Institute at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, TX. Her research is focused on studying a novel molecular pathway, TGFβ2 – TLR4 signaling crosstalk, in the development of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucomatous trabecular meshwork damage. In addition, Dr. McDowell studies retina ganglion cell subtype specific cell death in mouse models of glaucoma using mice that express GFP in specific individual subtypes of retina ganglion cells.
