Vision Research Center
Keeping Innovation in Sight
Advancing vision science through shared technology, training and collaboration.
Empowering the Science of Vision
Collaboration and access to specialized technologies are essential to the research activities at the University of Michigan. The Vision Research Center (VRC) addresses both of these needs. By providing shared state-of-the-art instrumentation, services and training, the Center provides vision researchers with the necessary resources to pursue cutting-edge research. The Vision Research Center also acts as a central conduit for the exchange of information within the community of scientists at the University of Michigan and serves to promote collaboration and multidisciplinary approaches to vision research. Each core is supervised by research faculty and staffed by technical experts.
