- This Project Grant award of $253,500.00 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to reconstruct a human blood-retina barrier and perfused vascular system. The goal is to investigate the role of apolipoprotein E (APOE) variants in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. The researchers will optimize an in vitro human outer blood-retina barrier model to study AMD phenotypes and...
