Emory Conference Center
1615 Clifton Road
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Co‐Chairs, Glaucoma Fast Track Workshop Committee
- Abbot F. Clark, PhD
- John C. Morrison, MD
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, or other early-stage scientists focused on glaucoma research, or those who want to enter the field, took advantage of this unique opportunity to accelerate their path towards becoming an expert in this exciting field by:
- immersing themselves in the background knowledge and latest discoveries in glaucoma research
- connecting with preeminent glaucoma experts and fellow early-stage researchers based in the U.S. and around the world
- engaging in scientific debates
