Professor Paul Baird specialises in identifying and understanding how genetic changes associated with common eye diseases including age-related macular degeneration and keratoconus lead to vision loss and blindness. This fellowship will allow him to uncover novel genetic contributors in these diseases using next-generation molecular techniques. He will assess functionality of these variants, allowing him to translate these findings back to the clinic allowing personalised treatment options.

Paul Baird教授专注于识别和理解与常见眼病（包括年龄相关性黄斑变性和圆锥角膜）相关的基因变化如何导致视力丧失和失明。这项奖学金将使他能够利用下一代分子技术发现这些疾病的新遗传因素。他将评估这些变异的功能，使他能够将这些发现转化回诊所，从而提供个性化的治疗方案。
