The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy is hosting<\/p>\n

a Cataract Update Symposium Thursday, May 29, at the UNMC Eppley Science<\/p>\n

Hall Amphitheater. The program is sponsored by the National Foundation<\/p>\n

for Eye Research in cooperation with the UNMC Center for Continuing Education.<\/p>\n

The objective of the symposium, which is targeted toward health professionals,<\/p>\n

is to provide participants with an update on current theories of cataract<\/p>\n

formation and the scientific methods used to study cataract formation.<\/p>\n

It also will discuss some of the research in cataract treatment being done<\/p>\n

at UNMC.<\/p>\n

“Cataract is a major $3.2 billion Medicare expenditure in the U.S.,<\/p>\n

with currently no medical treatment outside of surgery available, said<\/p>\n

Peter Kador, Ph.D., professor and chairman of the department of pharmaceutical<\/p>\n

sciences in the UNMC College of Pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Before coming to UNMC, Dr. Kador spent 26 years at the National Eye<\/p>\n

Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in<\/p>\n

Bethesda, Md., where he served as chief in the Laboratory of Ocular Therapeutics<\/p>\n

from 1991 to 2002.<\/p>\n

The symposium begins at 7 a.m. with registration and breakfast. Cost<\/p>\n

for the program is $35, which includes handout materials, breakfast and<\/p>\n

lunch. Attendees can register on the day of the symposium.<\/p>\n

For information, call (402) 559-5145 or e-mail your question to conted@unmc.edu.<\/p>\n

People interested in attending may also register online at www.unmc.edu\/coned.<\/p>\n
