Distinguished Speaker Series Home Distinguished Speaker Series Ophthalmology Research Seminar: Distinguished Speaker Series The Center for Translational Vision Research Distinguished Speaker Series, also known as "Friday Seminars" showcases innovative research across the world. Since our foundation, CTVR and Gavin Herbert Eye Institute have historically hosted the Distinguished Speaker Series on groundbreaking ophthalmology research topics. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when most seminars were being canceled, we reinvented and pioneered our weekly Distinguished Speaker Series to quickly shift the seminars to a Zoom platform. The seminar series has now been expanded to include lectures by experts on topics ranging from Ophthalmology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Neurobiology, Imaging, Computational Sciences to Novel Ophthalmic Treatments. More significantly, this weekly seminar series has now become international in scope, with attendance numbering 80-300 people per week from all over the U.S. and internationally. This seminar series showcases the Vision Science Program and engages our colleagues from UCI, the region, the nation, and beyond. Please join us every Friday, 8:30 am–10:00 am, during the academic year in person and on zoom.
