age-related macular degenerationWe are testing the hypothesis that lipid deposition in Bruch's membrane is a fundamental event in early age-related macular degeneration. We have access to unique sources of donor eyes and surgical specimens. Our techniques include histopathology, morphometry, imunocytochemistry, lipid histochemistry, and electron microscopy.
