Congratulations to Dr. Hafler on receiving an NIH R01 Research Project Grant to support his research. His support from this award will allow the comparison of gene signatures of glia in patients with age-related macular degeneration with those of healthy individuals, which he hopes can lead to novel approaches to prevent permanent neuronal loss in the retina and to halt blindness.
