14th Annual Gained in Translation Symposium

The Gained in Translation Symposium is a meeting of clinicians and vision scientists from University of Washington, University of British Columbia, and OHSU. Presentations focus on bridging the gap between disease treatment and the latest advances in translational and basic research. Areas of synergy are identified for future collaboration between these institutions. Clinical and research faculty, community colleagues, residents, fellows, and students are welcome to attend. Trainees and students are encouraged to present posters.

The meeting will be eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
