## Abstract

CORE 3: ANIMAL MODELS AND ORGAN CULTURE
ABSTRACT
The goal of the Animal Models Core is to facilitate the use of animals and eye organ culture to study visual
function and visual diseases by qualifying NEI funded researchers. We also assist non-qualifying investigators
in generating preliminary data for funding. This is accomplished by providing expertise in animal models for
glaucoma, retinal degeneration, ocular vascular disease, eye organ culture, and infectious diseases and
includes animal handling and anesthesia. We also provide expertise and equipment necessary for the
evaluation of visual function and disease including, ERG, multifocal ERG, OCT, retinal imaging, IOP and
outflow facility determination. Because we are one of the only, if not the only, Vision Research Core with an
associated Regional Primate Center, we are in a unique position to provide access to vision research involving
non-human primates. As a result, this core has also facilitated vision research by investigators at other
institutions and their papers cite this core.
