Want to play a vital role in birdshot research? Donate today!
As valued supporters and members of the birdshot community, we would like to update you on the groundbreaking AI birdshot study led by Jennifer E. Thorne, MD.

The goal of the study is to use artificial intelligence to collect and assess countless characteristics of scans and to develop a foundational AI model of birdshot uveitis. The investigation will compare tens of thousands of birdshot images to hundreds of thousands of other eye images and relate its findings to clinical observations.
Dr Thorne is now commencing the second year of the study. We are attaching the research fund update letter below, written by Dr Thorne.
We hope that you will consider supporting this vital research and a donation of any size will be welcome.
