IoO Day 2021: Lecture and Awards

This year's IoO Day was presented online. We welcomed Professor Constance Cepko from Harvard Medical School and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to deliver the IoO Annual Lecture with a talk titled "Cell fate determination in retinal development". 

The IoO Annual Award Lecture was established in 2018 to honour scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the field of ophthalmology and visual science. The lecture is part of the IoO day when awards are also given to IoO and Moorfields/IoO-associated staff to recognize academic, teaching and collegiality activities.
