A study published in Nature Genetics identifies new genes and mechanisms predisposing to refractive error and myopia.

We welcome him, and are excited about the research plans of his new IOB Myopia Research Group

It is an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), for a project called HURET: The human retina at single cell resolution: functional architecture, disease mechanism and therapy development.

Congratulations!

Emanuel R. de Carvalho and Peter Maloca published a review in Annals of Eye Science, highlighting the specific factors that should be taken into account when interpreting OCT.

Hendrik Scholl has been presented the Paul Henkind Memorial Lecture and Award for outstanding retinal research at the Macula Society’s annual meeting in San Diego.

The power of swept source OCT angiography (OCTA) and 3D reconstruction virtual reality for ophthalmic diagnosis: view it here by walking into a patient’s eye in 3D

A study published in Developmental Cell sheds light on human airway differentiation in vitro. Gray Camp, Head of the IOB Human Retina and Organoid Development Group, is a co-author.

Our Human Retina and Organoid Development Group, together with the D-BSSE Treutlein lab, developed a straightforward and powerful approach to understand and integrate challenging single-cell multi-omic data

Dr. Wolf Harmening from the University Eye Hospital in Bonn presented "Photoreceptor targeted visual psychophysics", in the Basel Eye Hospital Lecture Hall

Peter Maloca and international colleagues studied the progression of retinopathy secondary to Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness, and evaluated predicting parameters. The study is published in AJO.

He joins us as Visiting Professor Translational Retinal Research

The master student of Peter Maloca, our Head of the Ophthalmic Imaging Group, received the Karl Amon Optometry Award 2019

The most recent paper authored by Carlo Rivolta and co-workers from Jerusalem:

"Worldwide Carrier Frequency and Genetic Prevalence of Autosomal Recessive Inherited Retinal Diseases"

Caroline Klaver's team at Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam published a study which confirms that increased computer use is associated with myopia development in children, and that the effect was decreased by outdoor exposure.

Many of our researchers and clinicians contributed to this review by the European Vision Institute Special Interest Focus Group, published in Ophthalmic Research
