Funds are requested to support The Fourth Biennial Symposium on Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) to be held October 20 & 21, 2016 in the Starr Center for Scientific Communications at the Schepens Eye Research Institute (SERI) – Mass. Eye and Ear (MEE). The meeting is co-organized by Drs. Patricia A. D'Amore, Director of Research at SERI, Mass Eye and Ear (MEE); Dr. Ivana Kim, a retinal specialist at MEE; Dr. Joan Miller Chief of Ophthalmology at MEE and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School; and, Dr. Deeba Husain, Site Director, MEE Retina Consultants. This meeting will build on the strong successes of the three previous biennial meetings that were held in September 2010, September 2012, and October 2014. AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in people 50 years or older in industrialized countries. More than fifteen million Americans have AMD, and as a result of the aging population, the prevalence of AMD is expected to increase by more than 50% by the year 2020. In light of these demographics, the incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of AMD makes this a timely and important meeting. The goal of this conference is to stimulate discussion and collaborations aimed at elucidating the mechanisms that underlie the development of AMD and, thus, to identify means to treat, cure, and ultimately prevent AMD. This meeting will be distinct from other meetings on AMD in its format, which allows significant time for discussion. An additional unique feature is the inclusion of speakers from other fields whose impact on AMD has not yet been realized. Dr. Evan Gragoudas, a leader in the field, will provide introductory comments. Dr. Robert Marcs will give the Keynote Friedman lecture on building retinal connectomes, and Dr. Robert D'Amato will deliver a summary and concluding remarks. Topics to be covered include: retinal pigment epithelial cell biology, inflammation, imaging, lipids, and new molecular methods. Travel awards will be provided to attract graduate students and fellows, with a particular emphasis on under- represented minorities and persons with disabilities.

要求资金支持与年龄有关的第四个双年展研讨会 黄斑变性（AMD）将于2016年10月20日至21日在Starr举行 Schepens Eye Research Institute科学通信中心 （Seri） - 大量的眼睛和耳朵（mee）。会议由Drs共组织。帕特里夏 A. D'Amore，Seri，Mass Eye and Ear（MEE）研究总监；伊万娜博士 金（Kim），Mee的视网膜专家； MEE的琼·米勒（Joan Miller）眼科主任 哈佛医学院眼科系主席；和， MEE Retina顾问现场主任Deeba Husain博士。这次会议将建立 关于以前三年一次的两年一次会议的巨大成功 2010年9月，2012年9月和2014年10月。AMD是领先的 在工业化中50岁以上的人的不可逆失明的原因 国家。超过1500万美国人拥有AMD，并且由于 人口老龄化，AMD的患病率预计将增加超过 到2020年，有50％。鉴于这些人口统计，不完整 了解AMD的发病机理使它及时而重要 会议。这次会议的目的是刺激讨论和合作 旨在阐明AMD发展的基础的机制 因此，确定治疗，治愈并最终防止AMD的方法。这次会议 将与AMD格式的其他会议不同，这允许重要 讨论的时间。另一个独特的功能是扬声器 从其他对AMD影响的领域尚未实现。埃文博士 该领域的领导者Gragoudas将提供介绍评论。罗伯特博士 Marcs将向弗里德曼（Friedman）主题演讲，以建立残留连接组， 罗伯特·达·阿马托（Robert D'Amato）博士将提供摘要并得出结论。主题 涵盖包括：视网膜色素上皮细胞生物学，炎症， 成像，脂质和新的分子方法。旅行奖将被提供给 吸引研究生和研究员，特别强调 代表少数民族和残疾人。
