# Core Grant for Vision Research

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON · 2024 · $622,000

## Abstract

SUMMARY
The overall goal of our Vision Research Core is to provide expertise, facilities, and equipment to foster and
expand vision research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This will be accomplished by three Cores.
The Ocular Omics and Quantitative Molecular Biology Core will facilitate the use of qPCR, Laser Capture
Microdissection, RNASeq, microarrays, NextGen Sequencing, Flow Cytometry and other molecular methods
by core users. The Pathology and Imaging Core will facilitate the use of confocal microscopy, fluorescent and
light microscopy, histopathology, specialized tissue staining methods, and image analysis by core users. The
Animal Models and Eye Organ Culture Core will facilitate the use of non-human primate, feline, rodent and
other animal models of ocular disease, the use of OCT, ERG, VEP to assess visual function, and the use of
other visual structure and function outcome measures.
