Centers of Excellence and Institutes

Where clinicians, researchers, educators, and industry leaders come together to collaborate and discover new life-changing cures.

The Harvard Ophthalmology Centers of Excellence and Institutes are multidisciplinary collaborations that unite clinicians, educators, investigators, trainees, and laboratories across the Department with each directed toward a specific class of eye disorder (Center) or scientific approach (Institute). Their goals are mission-driven and reflect those of the broader Department: provide premier clinical care, conduct transformational research, and provide world-class training to future leaders.
