Today is @ARVOinfo's Advocacy Day! Many thanks to our members and patient advocates meeting with U.S. legislators on Capitol Hill (Washington, DC) to discuss how critically important it is to #FundVisionResearch. bit.ly/3c61Glg #ARVOadvocacy @NAEVRAdvocacy

I encourage interested vision scientists to participate in the Emerging Vision Scientist Program by @NAEVR with support from the @RPB_org. It is critical to advocate for supporting research more than ever! eyeresearch.org/emerging-visio…

Excited to see Gabriela’s work out in @ARVOtvst this will be a great tool for our group and others to improve analysis after injury for our basic science studies.

Excited to present the work from our group on #glaucoma and #menopause at the Southeastern Vision Research Conference and talk with researchers from Vanderbilt, UAB, Emory, and Gatech #WomensHealth

So happy to give a talk about our research on menopause and glaucoma @MageeWomens and learn from many investigators studying women’s health #WorldMenopauseDay #menopause

It was wonderful to be part of the Emerging Scientist Program, and meet with the staff of Senators and Representatives on the Hill to discuss the importance of Vision research along with seeing colleagues and researchers @NAEVRAdvocacy #advocacy

#newinJBME A team led by @EthierOcularLab @CoulterBME used histology-informed computational models to show that the pectinate ligaments provide support to other eye structures under the increased intra-ocular pressure conditions of glaucoma. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

I am amazed by Kelleigh's effort to get these two studies completed that highlight the temporal association between menopause and glaucoma in a case-only retrospective design. @EmoryEyeCenter #WomensHealth

@MeganRoutzong Congratulations! I look forward to seeing the amazing work you will do!

I'm thrilled to share that I was awarded an NIH K99/R00! This will fund research studying pelvic floor muscle remodeling in pregnancy and postpartum. Thank you to all present and former mentors and colleagues. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and excited to do this research.

Thank you @NatEyeInstitute and @CDMRPfor for supporting vision research. We are excited to learn and contribute to the vision community and be part of this experience. #VisionScience #EmergingVisionScientists #VisionResearch #Advocacy #WomensHealth

We are excited that Nina Sara and Dr. Feola have been accepted into the 2024 Emerging Vision Scientist Program by @NAEVRAdvocacy! This is a great opportunity to advocate for research in vision research and #WomensHealth @NIHFunding.

@ian_sigal That’s for not coming to ARVO 🤣. But always happy to share if you are interested @ian_sigal

@TheFeolaLab Why blur the posters? For those of us who missed ARVO tweets have been a great way to see some of the work presented.

We are all just getting back to ATL but it was a great #ARVO2024 in Seattle. So happy to see Nina Sara and Gabriela present there work and catch up with so many colleagues and collaborators. It was an incredibly engaging week!

So proud to walk with Xinyi and have her receive a medal for Highest Honors in Neuroscience & Behavior Biology from @EmoryUniversity she did an incredible job in the lab. We can’t wait to see what she does next at GaTech

We are excited to present our work and meet up with colleagues at #ARVO2024. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Seattle. Check out the work being presented from ATL at med.emory.edu/departments/op…

Want to learn “How do our eyes work?" check out the booth this Saturday (March 23th) @ATLSciFest sponsored by @EmoryEyeCenter @EmoryUniversity and put together by exceptional trainees to teach kids about the eye and how it works

@ARVOiovs @EmoryEyeCenter A preclinical study of the effect of PPS use typically used to treat bladder pain on the eye, that was observed by Dr Jain in the clinic

Jeffrey H. Boatright et al. @EmoryEyeCenter show that pentosan polysulfate sodium causes diminished function and subtle morphological changes in retina and RPE of mice. doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6…

@ProfHaiDong @EmoryUniversity @EmoryMedicine @EmoryCTSurgery Congratulations Hai!

I am pleased to announce that I have recently joined @EmoryUniversity as an Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine @EmoryMedicine @EmoryCTSurgery. I would like to express great gratitude to my advisors/mentors during my PhD/Postdoc training (in time order): Prof. Jianxiang Wang @PKU1898 , Prof. Vicky Nguyen @NguyenLabJHU, Prof. Yuhang Hu @YuhangHu @UofIllinois (currently @GeorgiaTech), Prof. Wei Sun & Prof. Rudy Gleason @GleasonLab @GeorgiaTech, Prof. John Elefteriades @JElefteriades @Yale, and Prof. Bradley Leshnower @EmoryUniversity. I sincerely appreciate all your guidance and support! Our lab will focus on the biomechanics of cardiovascular tissues, with applications to improve the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We are open to any funding/paper collaborations. Please feel free to reach out if any of the following is needed: - Mechanical testing of bio-tissues (uniaxial/biaxial testing) - Histological analysis using multiphoton microscope - Constitutive models of bio-tissues - Patient-specific finite element (FE) simulations - Mechanical stress-driven growth simulations

Reminder of the March 1 deadline for the @EmoryEyeCenter DEI program for undergraduate and medical students interested in gaining basic science and clinical exposure in ophthalmology. Info/Apply at bit.ly/2024summerinte…
