$38,000 was awarded to Yoshi Ishikawa, PhD for – Collagen modifiersome in connective tissue disorders
$31,000 was awarded to Neel Pasricha, MD for Ocular Surface Ion Transport in Dry Eye Disease
Projects were selected through a competitive peer-review process where faculty propose new research and the top-rated proposals are awarded “kick-starter” funding to get their projects up and running.
The Foundation’s goal is that these awards will enable recipients to generate preliminary data that will support larger scale proposals, leveraging the funds to generate additional external federal and private support. Our objective is to hasten scientific breakthroughs in diseases of the eye – here and around the world.
All May See Foundation is committed to saving and restoring sight and inspiring hope that, one day, all may see.
