The USC Eye Institute, part of Keck School of Medicine of USC, is a center for ophthalmic care, research and education located in downtown Los Angeles, California. It has subsidiary clinics in Pasadena, Beverly Hills and Arcadia.〔Alison Trinidad for USC News. December 2, 2014 (USC Eye Institute opens new clinic in choice Arcadia location )〕 It was allied with the Doheny Eye Institute from 1975 until 2013, when Doheny allied with University of California Los Angeles. ==History== Ophthalmology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC attained departmental status in 1974 and opened its first building on the USC Health Sciences Campus in 1975. Although an ophthalmology residency program existed at USC prior to that time, there were no full-time faculty members in the department. Stephen J. Ryan was recruited in 1974 and served as the department’s first professor and chairman through 1995. In 1975, the Doheny Eye Institute〔(History ). Doheny.org.〕 allied with USC's Ophthalmology department under Ryan and relocated to the USC campus. The alliance "provided Dr. Ryan the opportunity to recruit and build the institute’s department from the ground up. Thus began the transformation of the institute into one of the top university based ophthalmic teaching, clinical, and research centers....Dr. Ryan built Doheny into a respected institution. In 2011 alone, Doheny scientists received $21.8 million in federal and state grants and published more than 180 scientific papers."〔Linda Roach for Eyenet Magazine. June 2013. ( The 2012 Academy Laureate, Stephen J. Ryan )〕 All of the Doheny Eye Institute's doctors were appointed as USC faculty members.〔Alex Ortolani For Law360. October 28, 2011(USC Focuses Ire On Eye Institute Over Lease Permits )〕 The Doheny Eye Institute built a new building on USC's campus in 1985 to provide clinical facilities for USC's ophthalmology faculty.〔(University Of Southern California, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. Doheny Eye Institute, Defendant And Respondent. Court Of Appeals Of California, Second District, Division Five. Filed October 18, 2012. )〕 Ronald E. Smith served as department chairman from 1995 to 2013. In 2011, USC and the Doheny Eye Institute fell into a dispute over renovations, permits, and other matters related to the building, which led to litigation.〔 In 2013, the Doheny Eye Institute ended its relationship with USC and entered into an exclusive, long-term affiliation with University of California Los Angeles.〔Elaine Schmidt for UCLA News. July 29, 2013 (Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and Doheny Eye Institute pursue long-term affiliation )〕〔Eye, Newsletter of the Stein Eye Institute, UCLA. Winter 2014. (Stein and Doheny Eye Institute Sign Historic Affiliation Agreement )〕 Mark S. Humayun was interim chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in November 2013, and in February 2014, Rohit Varma was appointed as director of the USC Eye Institute. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USC Eye Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
