NHMRC Research Grant

CFEH Senior Research Associate, Dr Lisa Nivison-Smith has been awarded an NHMRC grant for her research into inner retinal remodelling in AMD, and translation of this knowledge to improve the clinical assessment of AMD. Lisa’s goal is to identify further prognostic biomarkers for AMD, leading to better risk assessment and more tailored management of this condition.

Lisa’s research makes use of the CFEH database of over 55 000 patients and is made possible by both CFEH clinical and support staff as well by the large percentage of patients consenting to research at the Centre.
