Jianzhong Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry, along with co-author Kelly Nichols, O.D., MPH, Ph.D., FAAO, dean of the School of Optometry, has published a sensitive method facilitating dry eye disease studies in the Journal of Lipid Research.
A system has been devised that computationally screens hundreds of millions of drug candidates — all of which can be made on demand — against biological targets. This could help to make drug discovery more efficient.
When it comes to fostering rigour and scientific integrity, US research institutions are stuck.
A newly released letter from a government watchdog has shed a little light on an ongoing U.S. government effort to scrutinize federally funded biomedical research for potentially problematic foreign involvement.
Retina International was approached in October by patient representatives affected by Choroideremia, who have asked if RI would consider forming a patient network. With this in mind, we have formed the Retina International Choroideremia Special Interest Group (SIG) (RI-CHM). This will be made up of volunteer patient experts who will work to connect satellite groups and organisations, as well as individuals and families affected by Choroideremia.
But researchers say the 25% increase is not enough to meet living costs.
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, along with collaborators from the University of Iowa, have discovered a genetic biomarker that is associated with age-related macular degeneration and delayed rod-mediated dark adaptation—the first visual function for incident AMD in older adults with normal macular health and early AMD.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss among Americans ages 65 and over. Know your risks and save your sight.
People with sight problems could benefit from a surgical trial advance that has been shown to help restore the surface of the eye.
This first-in-human clinical study is being conducted to validate the sensor implant for continual monitoring of intraocular pressure in glaucoma
How does vision work, and what happens in the brain during the process?
The unique educational offering supports retina fellows during a weekend-long training at the Alcon Experience Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects roughly 200,000 individuals in the United States each year.
A minimally invasive treatment for retinal detachment gives patients sharper vision, less distortion and reduced side-effects, according to the findings of a randomized controlled trial performed at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
Two studies reiterate that very few postdoctoral researchers land academic posts — and suggest that the skills postdocs learn are not sought by employers outside academia.
