Dianne,

This study is pre-clinical still - that is, not involving humans yet. I searched on "Brian McKay" and retinal. Here is an article from the U of Arizona.

The article mentions a "Southwest Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Research Program" at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology in Tucson.

Good luck -- Jean
