Proctor Medal lecturer focuses on retinal vascular growth research
DENVER — Patricia D’Amore, PhD, MBA, FARVO, the 2015 Proctor Medal lecturer, discussed the development of retinal vascular growth with a focus on the role of vascular endothelial growth factor in adults at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting.“Diseases of the retina that have unwanted vessel growth really span the whole gamut [of ocular neovascularization] from prematurity to adulthood, and what we set out to do was understand how this process happens,” she said.
