PASADENA, Calif., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Doheny Eye Institute, one of the nation’s leading vision research institutions, announced that more than 25 of its scientists and clinician-scientists will present their latest research at the upcoming Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting, the premiere gathering for eye and vision scientists from across the globe. The meeting will take place May 4-8, 2025 in the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Onsite, Doheny and UCLA Stein Eye Institute will once again exhibit together at Booth #1025.

In addition to a strong lineup of presenters, Doheny will also be well represented as SriniVas R. Sadda, MD, closes out his term as president of ARVO at the culmination of the 2025 meeting. Dr. Sadda currently serves as the Director of Artificial Intelligence & Imaging Research and the A. Ray Irvine, Jr., MD, Endowed Chair at Doheny, and Professor of Ophthalmology at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. As ARVO President, Dr. Sadda was an integral figure in shaping and planning this year’s meeting, themed, “i3: imagining innovation and intelligence in vision science.”

“The impressive number of Doheny scientists and clinician-scientists selected to present at this year’s ARVO Annual Meeting highlights the innovation and importance of Doheny’s research contributions to ophthalmology," said Deborah A. Ferrington, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Doheny Eye Institute. “This also presents a great opportunity for our scientists and clinician-scientists to collaborate with other leaders in vision research, identifying new approaches and share knowledge to help us accelerate efforts toward our shared goal of eliminating preventable blindness.”

Two Doheny scientists were selected to present Mini symposia sessions at ARVO:

Topic: Mechanobiology: A Fresh Perspective on Diabetic Retinopathy
Who: Kaustabh Ghosh, PhD, Principal Investigator at Doheny Eye Institute and Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at UCLA
Location: Ballroom B
Session: 206
Abstract Number: 1371
When: May 5 at 9:09 a.m.
