The award recognizes scientific works that make a significant contribution to the knowledge, diagnosis and / or treatment of pathologies related to vision. In the case of Molins, the award has been for the work entitled “Complement factor H binding of monomeric C-reactive Protein downregulates proinflammatory activity and is impaired with at risk Polymorphic CFH variants” which delves into the role of C-reactive protein, an inflammation biomarker, in Macular Degeneration Associated with Age (AMD).
The award was presented in the framework of the Annual Meeting of the Madrid Society of Ophthalmology and was collected, on behalf of Molins, by the ophthalmologist David Diaz Valle.
