MANLY 2024

Overview: Join us in the picturesque coastal setting of Manly, Sydney, for an exciting and detailed expedition into genetic and hereditary eye disease and their treatments.
Guest speaker: Dr Gustavo Aguirre is Professor of Medical Genetics and Ophthalmology at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, USA and is a world renown Veterinary Ophthalmologist with vast experience in the world of ophthalmic genetics. His research surrounds dog models of inherited eye and retinal degeneration with his work focusing on developing gene-based therapies for translational applications. We are thrilled to have him as our invited speaker for the ANZCVS Ophthalmology interim chapter meeting.

 

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances out of our control, we have had to very abruptly change venues! Fortunately, however, the meeting promises to be even better than before as we will now be situated at the beautiful Boathouse in Shelly Beach.
