December, 2003 – Catalyst For a Cure scientists report second-year results
Catalyst For a Cure researchers met in San Francisco to report on the results of their second year of investigations. The four scientists reported the establishment of a glaucoma model that will enable tracking the genetic changes that occur as glaucoma progresses. They also developed techniques for isolating genetic material for analysis. The researchers have created core capabilities at each research site to identify the genes responsible for the progression of glaucoma. Using gene chip technology, the CFC team verified their process for isolating and identifying genes that may play a key role in glaucoma.
