Macular Degeneration researchers, are you at #ARVO2024? Come by and see us at booth #1143 to step into the "eyes" of someone living with vision loss from AMD with the world's most advanced eye disease simulator, VisionAid. This unique experience will give you a deeper understanding of the difficulties of living with vision loss. You'll go back to your labs with renewed passion and empathy for your work! And please, share with us, and the world, what new perspectives you gain from this mixed reality experience!

Come see William Seiple at our AMDF Research Showcase at #ARVO2024. Very proud to support this important work on behalf of the #maculardegeneration community living with vision loss.

We're at #ARVO2024 in Seattle! Come see us at booth 1143, and join us for a rapid-fire research showcase on Tuesday, May 7, at noon, featuring seven AMDF supported researchers working in the macular degeneration space. Our headliner is Neena Haider, Ph.D., presenting: Modifier Gene Therapy for AMD, Stargardt's and Retinitis Pigmentosa. "A mutation/gene-agnostic modifier gene therapy approach that restores homeostasis, halting disease progression along multiple pathways and rescuing dying photoreceptors." #maculardegeneration #stargardtsdisease #retinitispigmentosa #genetherapy #eyeresearch #ARVO Image: Dr. Haider in front of a microscope, looking into the camera, holding a microscope slide.
