Dear colleagues,
The XVI meeting of the Association of Ocular Pharmacology and
Therapeutics (AOPT) will be held August 10-13, 2023, in a novel
hybrid format that includes joint programming from China and the
United States.
A full 4-day in person meeting will be held at the Hilton Indianapolis in
Indiana. A 1-day meeting will be held at He Medical University in
Shenyang China. Joint symposia and talks will be shared between the
meetings. Attendees may enjoy the full meeting in person in whichever
city they desire or on-line.
The Association expects roughly 125 talks and an equal number of
posters in session that are of high interest and value to our international
membership.
Program committees in both the US and China have been working hard
to bring content that bridges our understanding of cutting-edge research
and developments in ocular pharmacology and therapeutics.
With this meeting we hope to cross geographic and political barriers
that may divide scientific people in the world.
Best regards,
Filippo Drago, M.D.,Ph.D.
