The principal goal of our computational ophthalmology group is to make high-performance computing resources easily accessible and provide state-of-the-art, custom software available to vision researchers engaged in cellular, animal, and human vision research studies.

These internship programs provide faculty mentorship, career development, hands-on research experience, networking opportunities, and a wide range of instructional courses. We also value diversity and inclusion, and these internship programs aim to recruit trainees from diverse backgrounds.

At the UC San Diego Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology and the Shiley Eye Institute, our Division of Ophthalmology Informatics and Data Science is dedicated to advancing data science, artificial intelligence, and big-data analytics for the improvement of vision and health.

Clinical research studies are performed across all of the subspecialties at the Shiley Eye Institute.

The Shiley Eye Institute runs multiple clinical trials.  Each trial follows the strict safety and ethical guidelines developed by the government and UCSD’s Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Our researchers receive grant support from multiple agencies including federal, non-profit, industry and private sources.  We are indebted to the support we receive for our research endeavors.
