70% of patients have retinal shift after retinal detachment repair. New study shows how this can be decreased.

We hope to see you at the lecture of Prof. Rainier O. Schlingemann on Tuesday, January 29th, at 17:30h in the Augenklinik lecture hall.

Botond Roska summarizes what has allowed his team to design new therapies for restoring vision in genetic forms of blindness.

... in the ARVO Journal Translational Vision Science & Technology (TVST) are from Peter Maloca, our Group Leader Ophthalmic Imaging. Congratulations!

As one of the best-endowed awards in Europe, the Louis-Jeantet Prizes foster scientific excellence. Botond Roska will use the prize money to develop methods to further understand the functional architecture of the human retina in both normal and disease states.

The Medical Faculty, University of Basel, has selected our paper as the University’s research highlight in the past period – Congratulations!

The journal emphasizes hypothesis-based clinical and laboratory research with statistically valid results that clearly advance ophthalmic and vision research, and provides a record of international clinical research for both researchers and clinicians in ophthalmology.

In a study published in Neuron, Emilie Macé from Botond Roska’s group and collaborators demonstrate how functional ultrasound imaging can yield high-resolution, brain-wide activity maps of mice for specific behaviors. The non-invasive technology has promising applications for ophthalmologic, neurologic and psychiatric diseases.

IOB will host the Basel University Hospital Ophthalmology Department’s Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held in German and English.

Admission is complimentary, but registration is compulsory.

We hope to welcome you!
