Research Group on Cellular and Molecular Ophthalmobiology Unit - UOCEM

Description

The unit's researchers are dedicated to the study of the pathogenic mechanisms and the cellular and molecular bases of diseases of the visual system, including the following lines of research: diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, development and congenital malformations of the visual system, prevention of glaucomatous blindness, and nutrition and eye health. UIO [Ophthalmology Research Unit] Units

  1. Cellular ophthalmobiology unit: cell biology of the eyeball and optic nerve,
  2. Molecular ophthalmobiology unit: molecular biology and genetics of the eyeball and optic nerve,
  3. Translational Ophthalmology Research Unit and
  4. Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences Biochemistry Unit.
Goals CT

Diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy: study of risk factors associated with retinopathies, from a genetic, molecular and cellular point of view, to prevent blindness caused by these pathologies.

Research in development and congenital malformations of the visual system: to deepen our knowledge of the aetiopathogenic mechanisms that lead to the appearance and development of congenital malformations of the visual system in order to prevent the associated complications and loss of vision.

Prevention of glaucomatous blindness: understanding the molecular, cellular and genetic bases of glaucomatous optic neuropathy to help us identify specific biomarkers of this disease and prevent blindness.

Nutrition and eye health: study of nutrition and other lifestyle habits in relation to eye health.

Macular diseases: to deepen our knowledge of the molecular and genetic bases of macular diseases in order to find biomarkers that will help us to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
