Research grant awarded by the National Eye Institute to study metabolic dysfunction caused by ECM remodeling in human retinal pigment epithelium cells, focusing on mechanisms relevant to age-related macular degeneration and inherited retinal dystrophies.
Description
This is a research grant opportunity from the National Eye Institute for a project on ECM remodeling and metabolic dysfunction in human RPE cells. The project aims to understand lipid metabolism, redox biology, and ECM degradation related to age-related macular degeneration and inherited retinal dystrophies.
