Professor Andrew Lotery
Professor Andrew Lotery leads the vision research team in the University of Southampton. Working with other research institutions increases the potential of a cure, or improved treatment, for age-related macular degeneration and other blinding eye diseases.
Your generous support has helped our vision science research team grow. Our senior scientists have their own research groups training students and encouraging our amazing junior scientists to excel in their projects.
Andrew is interested in understanding the molecular basis of ophthalmic diseases. His University laboratory identifies genetic determinants of eye disease and studies defined mutations in patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells. He is an ophthalmologist with major research interests in age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorio-retinopathy and inherited retinal diseases.
