UCI's Eye Institute Taking Shape

The University of California, Irvine, has ambitious plans for its fledgling eye institute.

UC Irvine is under way with a $50 million fund-raising campaign to build the UCI Eye Institute and initially equip two of its four floors.

Faculty at the institute would treat patients, teach students

and do research in collaboration with device and drug companies.

The institute is sure to have a big internal backer in Michael Drake, who took over as UCFs chancellor in July. Drake is an ophthalmologist who headed the University of California's medical schools and hospitals before joining UCI.
