School of Medicine Translational Vision Research in the Department of Ophthalmology

Translational research takes laboratory-based research and develops it to the stage where it can be utilised in the treatment or assessment of human disease - essentially developing research from laboratory bench to patient bedside.

The Translational Vision Research Laboratory is the Department of Ophthalmology's biomedical research laboratory, combining both fundamental research facilities and a laboratory resource for clinical studies.

Research in the Translational Vision Research Laboratory is broad, reflecting the depth of the research team, and the clinical science requirements.
