Focus of research
  • The role of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors in ocular angiogenesis, particularly in AMD and diabetic retinopathy
  • The cellular mechanisms underlying loss of the blood-retinal barrier in diabetic retinopathy
  • Identification of new genes and mechanisms of angiogenesis
  • The role of complement activation and the proteasome in retinal pigment epithelium in the early stages of age-related macular degeneration
  • Prospective clinical trials on the use of anti-angiogenic therapy in AMD, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions
