We thank @Regeneron for their generous support of the upcoming RIMR conference, which brings together brilliant minds to generate new ideas and solutions to help eliminate vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration. Learn more at this link: https://t.co/LOvzRcAttA

Dr. Corradetti received the prestigious Evangelos S. Gragoudas Award by the Macula Society at their Annual Meeting in Palm Springs.  #MaculaSociety #GragoudasAward #InnovativeResearch

[Alliance for Vision Research @NAEVRAdvocacy]

NAEVR proudly partnered with @macular_org for the Access in Sight - AMD Advocacy and Action Week to address critical issues impacting those with vision loss caused by macular degeneration. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the advocates who joined hands to make the day a success!

Looking forward to visiting with you all again Imre!

[Lengyel Group @GroupLengyel]

We wish you the very best for the next phase of your young career, Christine. Looking forward to having you back at @QUBelfast at the @WWIEM_QUB .

A super evening at Bocca, with Cynthia Owsley and Mike Sloane. Enduring friendship, and scientific achievement - vision and outcome measures for AMD onset in ALSTAR/2. Today ends 33 years as full-time faculty and start of a new phase of beating AMD! @UABophtho; @UABHeersink;

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

AMD.Lab is moving! Jeff Messinger supervises the transfer of our ex vivo imaging workhorse Spectralis to Advancing Sight Network. Look for us there! Our human ocular tissue methods will become part of Precision Ocular Biobank protocols. @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @AdvancingSight;

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

How about these wonderful 1st year Vision Science students?! What a pleasure to speak AMD with them! Cannot wait to find out how will they make the world a better place. Look for them! @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @UABSO_VSGP

Our IZ map was the February cover picture of IOVS! Another round of applause for Sohaib and our boss Doheny collaborators. Discovered before March rolled in 😉 @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @DohenyEye;

Zhihong Jewel Hu et al. @DohenyEye @AMD_histo_lab investigate the relationship between delayed rod-mediated dark adaptation and the status of outer retinal bands on OCT in early and intermediate AMD.

Uh wait, mechanoreceptors around the eye? Would you elaborate on that? I'd love to learn a lot more.

[David Krizaj @dkrizaj]

Thank you Rafael Grytz and colleagues at the Callahan Eye Institute for the generous hosting and scintillating conversations that will stay with me for a long time. What a great place to do vision research!!!

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

We love visitors to UAB – David Krizaj is THE expert on mechanoreceptors in the front and back of the eye! And dining with Rafael Grytz and Konark Mukerjee at Bocca in downtown Birmingham was great fun. 😋 Glad you could join us, David! @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @dkrizaj;

[UAB Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science @UABophtho]

A big thank you to @dkrizaj from @MoranEyeCenter, for sharing your expertise as an invited speaker at our #RichLectureSeries. Your insights have enlightened and inspired!

[Doheny Eye Institute @DohenyEye]

February is AMD Awareness Month. Did you know that approximately 200 million people worldwide are estimated to have Age-Related Macular Degeneration and it's the leading cause of blindness in elderly people? Remember to get your eyes checked regularly!

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

Many 🙌 🙌🙏from the ALSTAR2 team to our fantastic Doheny collaborators - the IZ is a candidate OCT biomarker for structural change at AMD’s beginning. Where better to look, than where photoreceptors receive retinoids from RPE? @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @DohenyEye;

The High-resolution Imaging Facility rebounded with style from the 2022 flood – here is a spanking new JEOL 1400 Flash Transmission EM, with Melissa Chimento (formerly of AMD.Lab). What will this new instrument do for us Aficionados of the Subcellular? @UABophtho; @UABHeersink;

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

Mass spectrometry + single cell gene expression = insight into cone photoreceptor membranes. So many lipids found by Jianzhong Chen in samples of subretinal fluid. Thanks, Iowa, for the Spectacle database! In EER: 10.1016/j.exer.2024.109807; @UABophtho; @UABHeersink; @MCG_AUG

[Christine A. Curcio PhD @AMD_histo_lab]

We sure enjoyed Mike Do's visit! - a most stimulating talk about foveal cones and 😋 dinner with Alecia Gross and Massimo Fazio at Bistro 218 in downtown Birmingham. Thanks for making the trip, Mike! @UABophtho; @UABHeersink;

[UAB Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science @UABophtho]

A heartfelt thank you to Michael Do, PhD, from @harvardmed for sharing his expertise and insights during the #RichLectureSeries. His talk on "Origins of High-Acuity Vision" was illuminating!

Judy, I will miss you dearly. You were the first to notice my work and since then you were an amazing supporter and sponsor (I know how you suggested my name on several occasions....). Thank you. I hoped for some more discussions.... True loss for the field.🫶
