Watch to the end! Immune cells in the retina remain flat until damage is detected. Cells change their shape and dive deep in response to damage (pink cell)

Congratulations to Susana Marcos @marcoslabur.bsky.social receiving the Tillyer Award @optica.org Fall Vision Meeting in #minneapolis
Introduced by Steve Burns, her mentor from postdoctoral days.

Flaum Researcher Jesse Schallek, Ph.D., posing in front of optical research equipment, in front of a white board and an optical imaging poster.
Our next researcher at the Optica meeting is Jesse B. Schallek, Ph.D., who along with his lab, studies how blood flows through the vessels in the retina. They aim to understand how changes in this neural-vascular network contribute to retinal diseases and vision loss.

Microglia (white/green) are immune cells that live in specific layers in the retina.
In response to injury, they migrate into location of damage.

Meet Dr. Sara Patterson, a researcher at Flaum who is participating in the Emerging Vision Scientist Program.
Her lab studies how the eye communicates with the brain. This groundbreaking work is paving the way for new treatments to restore vision.
