Study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that trigger retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Approaches for the prevention of the development of these pathologies, as well as therapeutic approaches to the development of advanced stages of the disease. To this end, we consider: 

• To study the role of redox regulation in the development of retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy of age-related macular degeneration. 
• Analysis of the protective role of natural antioxidants in the development of eye diseases related to oxidative stress. 
• Identification of markers in tears to determine and follow the evolution of diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. 
• To study the physiopathology of uveal melanoma, search for new therapeutic approaches and biomarkers for its early detection.
