Tyler presented his work to develop an AAV-CRISPR/Cas9- based therapy for autosomal dominant CORD6 at this week’s College of Medicine Biomedical Sciences seminar series. Despite looking somewhat sad to be discussing phototransduction here, he was actually quite excited! …
This award is presented to investigators 45 yrs old or younger who are working in areas of translational research. It honors Dr. Carl Camras, who is highly respected for his work as a glaucoma specialist and a research scientist. This award, which was established in 2010, is supported by…
The Boye Lab congratulates Tori Makal (nee Fielding) both on successful completion of her qualifying exam/new doctoral candidate status and on her marriage!…
While Hurricane Irma may have delayed her a week, it didn’t stop Kait Calabro from successfully passing her qualifying exam on September 18th. Congratulations on surviving the toughest moment of graduate school, Kait. We’re so excited to call you a ‘doctoral candidate’!!…
The Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences recognized their Fall 2016 cohort of students who have all successfully selected a mentors and research concentrations. We are happy that Tyler McCullough matched with our team (and that he brought his cute baby!) to the inaugural Mentor-Match Celebration on August 18, 2017.
Thank you Tyler for participating in the I AM STEM summer camp! This program is designed to mentor children who are underrepresented in the STEM fields and introduce them to academic concepts early in a fun and interactive way. Here is is showing them how bacteria can be used to help…
Charlene was 1 of 4 summer students to receive a perfect score on her oral presentation last week. At just 17 years young, she demonstrated an impressive grasp of AAV vector biology and it’s application to inherited retinal disease. Congratulations, Charlene!!…
Dr. Boye was recently named one of the College of Medicine’s 2016-17 University Term Professors. The University Term Professorship Program provides recognition to reward outstanding academic achievement. The College Assessment Committee identified 40 individuals from the very high quality nominations in this first cohort and she was selected among the…
We welcome everyone to come hear our talks/visit our posters at this year’s Retinal Cell and Gene Therapy Innovation Summit, ARVO and ASGCT meetings. Below is a list of all the Boye Lab projects being presented: “Identification of AAV capsid variants with enhanced retinal transduction following screening in non-human primate”.
An experimental treatment sacrifices rod cell function to save cone cells in mice, preventing retinal degeneration, researchers report. …
