Description

"Linking of imaging and biomarker data from the University of Colorado AMD registry, by Dr. Talisa De Carlo Forest"

We will discuss the creation of the University of Colorado AMD Registry to correlate imaging biomarkers of disease progression with systemic markers of inflammation in patients with intermediate and advanced non-neovascular AMD. Systemic markers collected by multiplex immunoassay included cytokines, chemokines, complement, CRP, and RANTES. Qualitative and quantitative imaging biomarkers were reviewed by two trained graders, with a third grader for adjudication. We endeavor to uncover novel therapeutic targets for patients with non-neovascular AMD.
