Francesca Kim wins ARVO outstanding poster award
May 14, 2025

The highly competitive ARVO members in training (MIT) outstanding poster awards are presented to one of five top scored abstracts from each scientific session at the ARVO annual meeting. The award for the outstanding poster in the Genetics Cross-Sectional Group went to Francesca Kim for her project titled’ Expression of genes in novel... Read More


Friedenwald Award Lecture presented by OGI member Connie Cepko at ARVO 2025 annual meeting
May 14, 2025

The 2025 Friedenwald award was presented to Connie Cepko, PhD, Bullard Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.  Her lecture “ The retina: A Mosaic of radial founder cell clones “,  focusses on the mechanisms used for cell fate choices among the many progeny of multipotent progenitor cells.  This award honors...

Extracellular Vesicle RNAs as Biomarkers for Inherited Retinal Degenerations
March 27, 2025

Inherited retinal degenerations (IRD) are important causes of vision loss due to progressive dysfunction of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells of the retina. Pathogenic variants in the PRPF31 gene are among the most common causes of dominant IRD. In a recent study, published in Molecular Therapy: Methods &... Read More

Dr. Lizzy Rossin of the OGI profiled in Retina Today
March 13, 2025

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN I grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, and went to the Winsor School for high school. When I was younger, I was always interested in math and science. I loved physics and ultimately decided to get my undergraduate degree in engineering at the University of Pennsylvania before deciding to apply my interest in quantitative... Read More


Increased Ethnic Diversity Needed in Genetic Studies of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
March 10, 2025

A study by OGI members Inas Aboobakar MD, Ayellet Segre, PhD and Janey Wiggs, MD. PhD used cross ancestry genome-wide association studies to identify novel risk loci as well as differences in known loci across ancestries highlighting the need for increased ethnic diversity in glaucoma genetic studies.   The paper was selected for presentation...

Inas Aboobakar MD receives a Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award
January 14, 2025

Dr. Aboobakar is a clinician-scientist in the Wiggs lab and Glaucoma Service at Mass Eye & Ear. With this grant she will be investigating the clinical features associated with mitochondrial copy number variation andheteroplasmy in primary open-angle glaucoma.


Optimized prime editing system successfully addressed the low efficiency often observed in hiPSCs
December 30, 2024

The genetic background of a model may contain additional variants that contribute to the disease and complicate phenotype rescue. In this manuscript, we utilize prime editing technology to safely introduce point mutations into hiPSCs and generate isogenic disease models. With our optimized system, we successfully address the low efficiency... Read More
