Comments As many as 11 million people in the United States have some form of age-related macular degeneration. This number is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050. The impact of age-related macular degeneration on the global aging population is enormous as people are deprived of their economic livelihoods and independence. The Genentech Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Research Fellowships offers two grants: (1) basic research in the understanding of AMD and (2) translational AMD research focusing on therapeutics (not yet in clinical trials).
