What an INCREDIBLE feeling it is to see a room full of people learning about my work! I could not be happier and prouder of the work we have done and can't wait to see where else it will lead us to! Thank you all for listening in and all the great Qs and discussions (1/4)

Interested in finding out what it's like to attend your first @ARVOinfo meeting? Our student @zaynabnb has written a wonderful review of her experience for @UCLeye news. Thanks to @ARVOinfo for her travel award and @EyeCharity for funding her project. https://t.co/1GgTzESWxI

And a final thank you to all the patients and donors that make this possible.Our lab models diseases using cells obtained from patients.Thank you for your generosity and for believing research like ours can help prevent and cure vision loss. We owe you everything. #ARVO2024 (4/4)

None of this would have been possible without the support, mentorship and trust of my PI, @amandajaynecarr. I am sooo lucky to have her as my boss!!! Thank you for allowing me to grow and learn everyday! Also thanks to the rest of the lab members and collaborators! (3/4)

[Ana Alcafe @AlcafeAna]

Thank you again to @EyeCharity for funding our work, and to @MoorfieldsBRC for the travel award. As an ECR, it is so motivational to be supported this way, being allowed to create your own space in the ophthalmology field, where other peers now recognise you (2/4)
