  Investigating the role of Inter-alpha-inhibitor Heavy Chain 3 in age-related macular degeneration
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr S Clark, Prof T Day
Application Deadline: 31 March 2019
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness globally. It is well established that although a multifactorial disease, AMD is largely genetically driven, with the majority of attributable genetic risk being associated with loci on chromosome 1 (Chr1) and chromosome 10 (Chr10).
