Retinal Disease Interest Group November 9, 2023 Time: 4:00-5:00 PM Hybrid venue: Building 31/6C Rooms F-G

The process of vision is initiated in the retina, which is the most accessible part of the central nervous system, supplying over 30% of the sensory input to the brain (in humans). Not surprisingly, visual (and specifically retinal) dysfunction is observed in a large number of syndromic and inherited genetic diseases. The goal of RDIG is to promote interactions among scientists interested in biology, pathogenesis and treatments of syndromic diseases involving visual dysfunction or diseases of the neuronal tissue. Everyone is welcome to join and participate in lively discussions. https://www.nei.nih.gov/RDIG
