The Sydney Precision Data Science Centre is proud to collaborate on the Snow Vision Accelerator initiative, a $50 million partnership between the Snow Medical Research Foundation and the University of Sydney to fight glaucoma, the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness.
This is the largest single philanthropic investment in vision science in Australia bringing together leading Australian and international research groups. Our Centre will utilise advanced data analytics to create new insights into the progress and mechanism of glaucoma, with the potential to be applied to other vision research. Professor Jean Yang, Director of Sydney Precision Data Science Centre will play a lead role in guiding a team of data scientists to leverage the deep sea of new, complex data generated by the accelerator.
