Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO)

Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) is the largest and most respected eye and vision research organization globally, with nearly 12,000 researchers from over 75 countries. Approximately 45% of the members reside in over 75 countries outside the U.S., making the membership multidisciplinary and consisting of both clinical and basic researchers. Founded in 1928 in Washington, D.C. by 73 ophthalmologists, ARVO has evolved significantly, with the word "vision" being added in 1970 to better reflect the scientific profile of its members. With a focus on biotechnology, ARVO's commitment to advancing eye and vision research is evident through its global presence and diverse membership base. Despite not having recent public investments disclosed, ARVO's longstanding reputation and reach make it an interesting prospect for investment within the field of biotechnology and vision research.
