open.substack.com/pub/rorycellan… Could your scans at a High Street optician help researchers battling AMD, a major cause of blindness? My latest Substack post is about a brilliant initiative to share medical data for research

How is #NHS patient data contributing to research into eye disease and the growing field of #oculomics?
Our new web page provides answers, explaining how patient data is collected, anonymised and used in R&D for patient benefit.

This is *huge* 📢📢📢- our brilliant colleagues have just announced the first AI Foundation Model trained on retinal images, capable of diagnosis, prognosis & prediction of eye + systemic conditions.
Paper & code are #opensource!

1/ 🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨 Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI @UCLeye @Moorfields #OpenAccess @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Another exciting finding from @sktywagner @pearsekeane and colleagues, once again showcasing the potential of oculomics - this time on Parkinson's disease! (Thanks @ruskin147 for sharing!)

What's better than having treatments for conditions like AMD?
Not having it in the first place! (through prevention & interception)

So great to see @thesgconline alumni doing so well. Here @jcoker10 tells us all about his post-doc work on an understudied kinase (citron).

Thanks Al! I’m enjoying my first ever trip to Canada, really great first day of the symposium 🇨🇦

@pearsekeane @NIHRresearch @NIHRcommunity @UCLeye @Moorfields Congrats @pearsekeane! More than well deserved!! The UK ophthalmic research ecosystem is so lucky to have you.

I came to UK because of amazing opportunities for clinical academics offered by @NIHRresearch @NIHRcommunity, funded first as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer and then as an NIHR Clinician Scientist.
It’s career highlight now to become an NIHR Senior Investigator @UCLeye @moorfields😀
NIHR Moorfields BRC@MoorfieldsBRC
Congratulations to 3 of our clinician-researchers, @Denniston_Ophth, @Rahi_Eye_Vision & @pearsekeane, who were appointed today as NIHR Senior Investigators, giving them prestigious roles as leaders in people-based health research 👏👇 moorfieldsbrc.nihr.ac.uk/news/new-nihr-… @Moorfields @UCLeye

This is staggeringly irresponsible of @theresecoffey & will cause so much more harm than good.
Doctors do not - unlike Coffey - dish out spare antibiotics to our family & friends because we’re painfully aware of the harms of antibiotic resistance. Utter recklessness.
