47 20/20 Network investigators, students and staff attended the June 23rd Network meeting held at the University of Waterloo.
Following a welcome from the Scientific Director, Heather Sheardown, each Network project was presented by a Network Investigator or one of the Network staff or students. The people involved in each of the projects were introduced and the main objectives for the year were identified. The speakers then presented the main accomplishments, outlined any problems encountered or anticipated and finished up by identifying any needs from the Network (e.g. materials, special assays or models).
Attendees were then treated to two fascinating presentations:
- Ocular Toxicology - David McCanna, University of Waterloo
- Contact Lens Materials Update: The Rise of Siloxane-Based Hydrogels - Lyndon Jones, University of Waterloo
Presentations are available to Network members. Please send your request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
