(Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory) Vicki P. Losick, Ph.D., has been named the inaugural recipient of an award from the William Procter Scientific Innovation Fund. The award will support her research at the MDI Biological Laboratory on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in older people. Losick will establish a fruit fly model for AMD that she will use to study the genetics underlying the disease, and potentially to test for interventions to prevent or reverse it.
