The new, four-story 100,000-square-foot Wasserman facility (left building) will house many of JSEI's leading programs in vision science.

 
  The planned construction of the Edie and Lew Wasserman Eye Research Center has made it possible to create new programs that will further JSEI’s clinical and research initiatives. This Center will permit the creation of the revolutionary Laraine and David Gerber Genetic Eye Research Center, a ground-breaking Vision Proteomics Center, the only one of its kind in the world, an expanded Ocular Inflammatory Disease Center and Comprehensive Cataract Center as well as state-of-the-art ophthalmic operating rooms, including an area for gene therapy.

A wide range of opportunities exists to invest in different aspects of this new building. Support of its faculty and programs will be of enormous benefit to the Jules Stein Eye Institute and the future of vision science.

Gifts to support activities made possible by the Wasserman Center may be unrestricted or may target specific areas.

The JSEI Partners are helping Director Bartly J. Mondino, MD, to meet the Institute's needs. "The Wasserman Center will enable us to realize the next generation of miracles for the treatment of eye diseases. The JSEI Partners will provide the building blocks for these miracles and the result will be the transformation of vision science in the 21st century." In coordination with JSEI faculty, the Partners are developing the means to create or expand four distinct research and treatment centers. Each center will address a specific and pressing need in ophthalmology and vision science, and each will further the faculty's considerable and admirable body of work.
