Dr Jennings has played a significant role in research, as a treating investigator in the study of new medications that are now widely used to treat conditions such as Age Related Macular Degeneration. Two of the best known studies she has been involved in are the Anchor trial and the VIEW-2 study, which were pivotal in introducing Lucentis and Eylea to clinical use.
