In May 2017, the Leung lab visited several collaborating groups in Asia and shared with them our research vision on using zebrafish to find new drugs for retinal degeneration. In this blog post, we will share some pictures of our visit to the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (DOVS) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong<\/a> in the next paragraph. We will also share some pictures of our attendance of the International Conference of Vision & Eye Research<\/a> at the end of this post.<\/p>\n

In DOVS, Dr. Wai Kit Chu<\/a> from this department and Fai organized a “CUHK Ophthalmic Research Centre Joint Symposium<\/a>” and invited local experts in ophthalmology and neuroscience to share our latest research findings with each other. Fai outlined our lab’s research program on discover new drugs for retinal degeneration by zebrafish research. Logan presented a talk entitled “Visual Motor Response of a Transgenic Retinitis Pigmentosa Zebrafish Model”.<\/p>\n
