My Macular and Me webinars

Every month we host an exciting new webinar to bring you closer to the experts. We are joined by experts in macular disease who discuss the latest in treatments and research and answer your questions.

Register for our monthly webinars

Our monthly webinar takes place on the third Tuesday of every month at 7pm, with a focus on topics for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Please share any questions you would like our guests to address in our upcoming webinars. Send them to mymacularandme@macularsociety.org.

Using patient cell models to understand age-related macular degeneration

Dr Agata Rozanska will join us this month to discuss a project at Newcastle University which is using cells from patients to build a simple lab model that copies key features of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The team is studying inflammation, cellular recycling (autophagy), and tiny particles called exosomes.

Dr Rozanska will be sharing the early results of this research, which could help find early causes of AMD and lead to new treatments to slow or prevent vision loss.
