UCSD Shiley EyeMobile for Children
Each year more than 100,000 American children needlessly go blind, simply because they did not receive an eye exam.
The principal goal of our computational ophthalmology group is to make high-performance computing resources easily accessible and provide state-of-the-art, custom software available to vision researchers engaged in cellular, animal, and human vision research studies.
These internship programs provide faculty mentorship, career development, hands-on research experience, networking opportunities, and a wide range of instructional courses. We also value diversity and inclusion, and these internship programs aim to recruit trainees from diverse backgrounds.
