The Neuroimaging and Visual Science Laboratory in NYU Langone’s Departments of Ophthalmology and Radiology is directed by Kevin C. Chan, PhD. The laboratory focuses on developing and applying new methods for noninvasive imaging of neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration in people with vision-related diseases and injuries. Our mission is to improve vision preservation and restoration. We study the structural, metabolic, physiological, and functional relationships between the eyes, brain, and behavior in health and disease.

Our research is funded by the US National Institutes of Health (grant R01 EY028125 and R01EY034897), US Department of Defense Vision Research Program (W81XWH2110615), BrightFocus Foundation National Glaucoma Research Program (grants G2013077, G2016030, G20190103, and G2021001F), Shaffer Grants for Innovative Glaucoma Research, and Research to Prevent Blindness. Our lab is part of NYU Langone’s Health Technologies and Engineering Institute, also known as Tech4Health.
