- “In 2023/4 we became a member of the UK Aging Research Funders Forum (UKARFF).”
- “In early 2024, we secured funds (£100k) for the Virtual Eye Initiative.”
- “In March 2025 we hosted a scientific meeting to help progress to the next stages of the initiative and formation of research projects to be implemented as PhD studentships.”
- “Through the second half of 2024 and early 2025, we have been making progress on developing a clinical trial network for ophthalmology.”
