# P30-Core Grant for Vision Research Core A

> **NIH NIH P30** · EMORY UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $162,678

## Abstract

The Structural Biology and Imaging (SBI) Core enhances vision research of AVRC members by
assisting them in determining the relationship between normal and abnormal tissue structure in
eye diseases, disease models and after experimental treatments. This SBI Core provides
facilities and services for AVRC members to determine structural changes and how they relate
to function through histology, electron microscopy, confocal scanning laser microscopy and
experimental animal surgery imaging. The SBI Core also supports obtaining structural data and
interpretation of this data for new initiatives of AVRC members with an emphasis on retinal
function, retinal degeneration/injury, RPE morphometry, ocular oncology, and gene/drug
delivery. The SBI Core enables localization of proteins involved with control of retinal function in
health and disease; imaging of tissue changes in retinal and optic nerve degenerations;
correlation of RPE morphometric changes with genotype and function; development of imaging
techniques for primary and metastatic ocular tumors, including tissue correlations with MRI
contrast agents and tele-imaging; and studying ocular tissue changes relative to gene and drug
delivery to the posterior ocular compartment.
