项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Columbia University has a large and vibrant vision research community supported by the National Eye Institute, with 20 qualifying grants. Vision research at Columbia ranges across a huge gamut of topics, from genetic studies of retinal and visual brain development in Drosophila and mice to epidemiological studies of the behavior of patients with eye disease. Computational, neurophysiological, light and electron microscopic, genetic, biochemical, and clinical techniques focus on a range of problems including the development of the eye and the visual brain, the mechanisms of ocular angiogenesis, the systems neuroscience of visual and oculomotor behavior, and the pathophysiology and treatment of retinal diseases such as macular degeneration. To support this vision research we are requesting the establishment of a National Eye Institute supported set of Core Facilities for Vision Research, to provide services that could not be provided by individual research grants. The proposed core will have three modules: a instrumentation fabrication and design module which will be the successor of a similar module which was funded by an NEI program which cannot be renewed; a computer support module which will include offsite data backup, support and maintenance for the hundreds of computers, including an X-grid cluster, used by the vision research community, and a microscopic imaging module which will provide histological and in vivo and fluorescent microscopy services. This core will also facilitate collaboration among members of the Columbia vision research community, and encourage scientists not currently engaged in vision research to use their expertise to solve problems related to vision.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚大学有一个由国家眼科研究所支持的大型和充满活力的视觉研究社区，有20个合格的赠款。哥伦比亚大学的视觉研究涉及广泛的主题，从果蝇和小鼠视网膜和视觉脑发育的遗传学研究到眼病患者行为的流行病学研究。计算、神经生理学、光和电子显微镜、遗传学、生物化学和临床技术集中于一系列问题，包括眼睛和视觉脑的发育、眼部血管生成的机制、视觉和眼行为的系统神经科学以及视网膜疾病如黄斑变性的病理生理学和治疗。为了支持这项视力研究，我们要求建立一个国家眼科研究所支持的视力研究核心设施，以提供个人研究赠款无法提供的服务。拟议的核心将有三个模块：仪器制造和设计模块，这将是一个类似的模块，由NEI计划资助，不能更新的继任者;一个计算机支持模块，将包括远程数据备份，支持和维护数百台计算机，包括X网格集群，由视觉研究界使用，以及显微成像模块，其将提供组织学和体内以及荧光显微镜服务。该核心还将促进哥伦比亚视觉研究社区成员之间的合作，并鼓励目前未从事视觉研究的科学家利用他们的专业知识解决与视觉相关的问题。
