James Harris, MD, PhD, has been selected as a recipient of the prestigious David R. Hinton MD Scholarship to attend the Ryan Initiative for Macular Research (RIMR) Conference, taking place April 7-9, 2027, in Irvine, California.
The scholarship recognizes outstanding accomplishments and potential in vision research, particularly in the field of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Established in honor of Dr. David R. Hinton, the award supports promising early-career investigators by providing the opportunity to participate in the annual RIMR Conference, which brings together leading researchers dedicated to advancing treatments and understanding of retinal disease.
As a Hinton Scholar, Dr. Harris will receive sponsorship to attend the conference and will have the opportunity to engage with experts from across the vision research community. Scholars may also present their research during the conference's poster session, fostering collaboration and networking among emerging leaders in the field.
