About The Position
The Division of Ophthalmic Epidemiology was founded in 2014 under the direction of Anne Lynch MD, MSPH, who also holds a secondary faculty appointment in the Colorado School of Public Health. Dr. Lynch has created research programs in many areas including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The AMD registry was started in 2014. Patients with AMD attending the retina clinic at the Sue-Anschutz Rodgers Eye Center are invited to be part of the registry. Over 1,800 AMD patients and controls have joined the registry. The medical and ocular history are collected on every patient. In addition, images of the eye are reviewed, and a blood sample is collected for measurement of systemic biomarkers from each patient. This role will perform clinical research related functions which may include patient-oriented research or research conducted with human subjects. Patient-oriented research includes mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, or development of new technologies. Clinical Science Professionals may also assist with epidemiologic and behavioral studies and/or outcomes research and health services research. Supporting the Department of Ophthalmology, this Clinical Science Professional will be part of research efforts into age-related macular degeneration.
