DR. YINGBIN FU RECEIVES KIRCHGESSNER AWARD

Salt Lake City, Utah
February 28, 2008

Moran researcher Dr. Yingbin Fu recently received a Karl Kirchgessner Foundation award for his work on cone phototransduction. The Kirchgessner Foundation supports institutions actively engaged in providing services principally to disadvantaged persons. While the Foundation supports a limited amount of eye research, its emphasis is to support activities in the area of eye care.

Dr. Robert Marc, Moran Director of Research, had this to say about the award: "It is rare that "pure" vision science is recognized in this fashion and the scientific directors saw in Yingbin's plans the kernel of powerful new ideas for how to explore eye disease."
