The Brown Foundation

The Brown Foundation, established by Bernard Brown and Shirlee Brown, committed $2 million to VP&S to establish the Shirlee and Bernard Brown Glaucoma Genetics Initiative Fund within the Department of Ophthalmology. The purpose of the fund is to advance the understanding of the genetic pathophysiology of glaucoma and apply this information to the development of new treatments. The fund will support basic science, translational medicine, and clinical research.
