Vision Science student Emily Ward and Research Scientist Dr. Shruthi Karnam from the Flanagan and Gronert Labs have published a new paper, “The Role of Prostanoids in the Retina and Optic Nerve in Health and Disease,” in Progress in Retinal and Eye Research.

The review explores how prostanoids, best known for their role in glaucoma therapies, may also influence retinal and optic nerve health and disease.

By combining current literature with lipidomics and single-cell transcriptomic analyses, the paper highlights new opportunities to better understand – and potentially target – prostanoid signaling in posterior eye disease.

On Tuesday, May 26, the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science officially began seeing patients at our new Emeryville Clinic.

The new clinic nearly doubles our clinical capacity, expands opportunities for world-class education and research, and advances an exciting model for integrated pediatric optometric care.

Made possible in part by Dr. Herbert Wertheim’s historic $50 million gift, the generosity of our donor community, and the dedication of our faculty, staff, clinicians, and partners, this milestone reflects a shared commitment to the future of eye care and vision health.

We look forward to carrying Berkeley’s legacy of excellence in optometry and vision science into this exciting next chapter.
