The ultimate goal of my research is to develop an effective, affordable and accessible treatment for patients afflicted with age related macular degeneration (AMD). The novelty of my study is that I will use a protein extracted from silk as a form of scaffold on which to grow new retinal tissue, with the view to replacing the damaged tissue that eventually leads to permanent loss of sight in AMD patients.

我的研究的最终目标是为患有年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）的患者开发一种有效，负担得起和可获得的治疗方法。我的研究的新奇在于，我将使用从蚕丝中提取的蛋白质作为支架形式，在其上生长新的视网膜组织，以期取代最终导致AMD患者永久性失明的受损组织。
