Age-Related Macular Degeneration and the Gut Microbiome

Our newest host and Social Media Editor, Dr. Rukhsana Mirza, interviews Dr. Phoebe Lin. Together, they discuss Dr. Lin's study on whether an intestinal microbial signature is associated with advanced age-related macular degeneration and the relationship between the microbiota and AMD genetic risk. From her Ophthalmology Science article, "Age-related Eye Disease Studies Supplements and Genetic Risk Score Are Crucial Determinants of Intestinal Microbial Alterations in Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration."

Dr. Phoebe Lin is an editor for Ophthalmology Science.
