SUMMARY:2025 Scientific Forum
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a Scientific Forum featuring the\n2025 recipients of the Prevent Blindness Ohio Young Investigator\nStudent Fellowship Awards for Female Scholars in Vision Research\nWhen: Tuesday\, November 18\, 2025\, from to 1:00 to 2:00 pm\nWhere: Your computer via Teams\nRegister here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2025Scientificforum\n  \nJoin the meeting here!\nMeeting ID: 257 706 112 212 9\nPasscode: pd9zC3W5\n\nPresenters\n\nElectra Coffman is a Ph.D. candidate in the Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology program at The Ohio State University. She is conducting her research with the College of Optometry. Her research has critical implications for understanding age-dependent cataract formation\, a common and potentially blinding disorder with poorly understood etiology.\n\n \nPooja Nambiar is a Case Western Reserve medical student conducting her research with the Cole Eye Institute – Ocular Motility and Vision Neurosciences Lab. Her research is related to visuomotor dysfunction in Parkinson’s patients. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive\, neurodegenerative disorder that affects over 10 million people worldwide. Up to 70% of individuals with PD experience visual symptoms such as double vision\, trouble focusing\, and reduced depth perception; these can make daily tasks such as reading and walking more difficult. Debilitating visual symptoms are common in Parkinson’s patients\, yet this area remains underexplored\, leaving this population underrepresented and underserved in current vision research and care efforts.
