We speak to Fight for Sight’s newly awarded research fellow Dr Zakariya Jarrar from King’s College.
Dr Jarrar was due to begin his research into the role of the gut microbiome in age-related macular degeneration early in the summer. However, instead, Covid-19 saw Zak’s research suspended, and during the height of the pandemic, he spent two months working in intensive care for the NHS.
In response to the pandemic and lockdown, Fight for Sight launched a successful urgent appeal to help researchers cover the cost of returning to the labs. Dr Jarrar kindly fronted the campaign.
