Each year our graduate students, residents, postdoctoral fellows, research staff and faculty present a wide range of vision research projects at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual meeting. We are proud that this year UCSF Ophthalmology and Proctor presentations encompass over 53 research talks or posters, representing the work of over 27 of our faculty and their research teams at the 2020 meeting. Titles of some this year’s abstracts are listed below (more to come!), sorted by faculty involved. Please click on the abstract titles below to see the full abstracts and images.
