Update from Vijitha Vempuluru, winner of the first Victoria Cohen scholarship:

It was indeed a wish granted to step into the “America’s First World’s Best” eye care facility in the United States, The Wills Eye Hospital, as a Research Fellow in Ocular Oncology. A quick tour of The Oncology Service and getting acquainted with the ‘new family’ completed the first day. Was very excited to pick up my Wills Eye ID as well! Looking forward to a great journey of learning ahead! Thank you to the Victoria Cohen Eye Cancer Charitable Trust.
