T he Schnu rmache r I ns t i t u t e for V i s i on
Research (SIVR)
was founded two decades ago in
response to the growing need for scientific knowledge about
the visual system and methods of improving visual function.
It was named in 1984 to honor the generosity of Adolph
and Ruth Schnurmacher through an institutional endowment.
Among other activities, the SIVR supports innovative
and collaborative basic and clinical research projects. It
also coordinates a
dynamic colloquium series that hosts
respected researchers—doing both basic and clinical
work—from across the globe.
The following individuals
presented as part of the SIVR Colloquium last year:
Dean Yager Memorial Award
P hD s t ud ent R e za L a shga r i ,
working under the
direction of faculty advisor Dr. Jose-Manuel Alonso,
received
the 2013 Dr. Dean Yager Memorial Award.
The award
has been given annually since 2009 to the best published
research paper by a graduate student at the College.
