Collaborative Efforts.

Our partnership with researchers is built on mutual respect and shared objectives.

1

Certified Biobank

The Precision Ocular Biobank is one of the world's only certified ocular biobanks, adhering to international best practices and ethical principles.

2

Comprehensive Tissue Offerings

We provide a wide range of ocular tissues, including whole globes, corneas, lenses, sclera, trabecular meshwork, optic nerves, retinas, and more, to support diverse research needs.

3

Detailed Medical Histories

Researchers receive extensive medical information, including redacted records, ophthalmology charting, and testing, to enhance the quality and reproducibility of their work.

4

Advanced Imaging and Analysis

Our state-of-the-art equipment is used to image, process, and preserve eye tissue, providing researchers with high-quality samples for their studies.

Impact of Collaboration.

Through our partnership with researchers, we have contributed to significant advancements in the understanding and treatment of various eye conditions. For instance, our collaboration has enabled fundamental discoveries into the pathogenesis of glaucoma and variations in individual susceptibility to this blinding disease.
