VISION RESEARCH CENTER

请求支持核心模块设施和服务，以支持佛罗里达大学的视觉研究。 我们建议继续并增强我们现有的三个由 NEI 支持的模块——细胞/组织培养/免疫学——结构生物学——分子遗传学——佛罗里达大学视觉研究界的许多成员迫切需要这些模块。通过这些核心模块设施，我们打算： 1) 提高佛罗里达大学各系研究人员使用最先进技术进行视觉研究的能力。 核心设施支持和加强整个校园现有的眼科研究工作，并促进新的举措。 2）促进视觉研究领域的协作和多学科研究。 我们的研究人员和部门之间已经存在高度的协作、沟通以及思想和专业知识的交流。 共享的支持设施有助于进一步增强社区意识、共同目标和目标，并增加视觉科学重要问题的跨学科研究数量。

Support is requested for Core module facilities and services to support research in vision at the University of Florida. We propose to continue and enhance our three existing NEI-supported modules--Cell/Tissue Culture/Immunology--Structural Biology--Molecular Genetics--that are critically needed by many members of the University of Florida vision research community. By means of these Core module facilities we intend to: 1) Enhance the ability of researchers in various departments at the University of Florida to perform studies in vision research using state-of-the-art techniques. Core facilities support and enhance existing eye research efforts across the campus and facilitate new initiatives. 2) Promote collaborative and multidisciplinary studies in vision research. Collaboration, communication and interchange of ideas and expertise already exist in high degree among our investigators and departments. The shared support facilities serve to further bolster the sense of community, common goals and objectives, and increase the amount of interdisciplinary research on important problems in the visual sciences.
