JOHN A. MORAN EYE CENTER RESEARCH: OVERVIEW Inside the 20 labs and centers of the Moran Eye Center building are our best hopes for finding new ways to preserve and save sight. There, more than 25 faculty researchers are making groundbreaking discoveries by thinking creatively, working collaboratively, and challenging established paradigms. While faculty members pursue government funding, Moran provides financial support to launch promising research and to sustain it between grants—a commitment made by few other institutions. Critically needed funding comes from donors who enable us to turn discoveries into new treatments as quickly as possible.
Moran can leverage its unique resources to drive groundbreaking discoveries.
Nick Mamalis, MD, and Liliana Werner, MD, PhD, direct the Intermountain Ocular Research Center at the Moran Eye Center.
