ARVO's US-Indo Workshop

The idea to bring researchers from the US and India together began in 2002 when individuals at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, or, ARVO gathered to discuss the research opportunities between the US and India. The goal of these programs, funded by a grant awarded in 2004 by the National Eye Institute, is the development of a research plan for collaborative projects incorporating methods for identifying fiscal, scientific (e.g. tissue, processes, population), and intellectual resources in the US and India that promote collaboration and identifying research areas where there is a need. This workshop will be held at Sankara Nethralaya on February 15, 2005. These meetings will also be conducted at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad and at Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai.
 
Dr. Lingam Gopal, Dr. H.N. Madhavan, Dr. J. Biswas, Dr. G. Kumaramanickavel and Dr. S. Krishnakumar will participate. Dr. L. Vijaya shall also be attending the workshop in Hyderabad.
