Exploring the combined role of genetic and non-genetic factors for developing Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A systems level analysis of disease subgroups, risk factors, and pathways (EYE-RISK)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the world’s most important age-related blinding disorder. The current proposal utilises epidemiological data describing clinical phenotype, molecular genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and in-depth retinal imaging derived from existing longitudinal European epidemiological cohorts and biobanks to provide three major insights needed for long-lasting prevention ...

European Consortium for the Study of a Topical Treatment of iCRVO to prevent Neovascular Glaucoma (STRONG)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a very aggressive and rare type of glaucoma: yet, it contributes disproportionately to blindness from all eye diseases. NVG is also the second most common cause for the removal of the eye-ball across all eye diseases, usually because of intractable pain. The major cause of NVG is Ischaemic Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) leading to neovascularisation, obstructio ...

Orphan Drug for Acanthamoeba Keratitis (ODAK)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

This project will undertake preclinical and clinical research of the Orphan Drug Polihexanide (PHMB). The main objective is to provide a safe and effective drug for the treatment of the rare ocular disease Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) tested according to international regulatory standards. This debilitating infectious disease is caused by a free living protozoan which, in the absence of treatment ...

European Consortium for the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy (EUROCONDOR)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of blindness among working-age individuals in developed countries has been classically considered to be a microcirculatory disease of the retina. However, there is growing evidence to suggest that retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of DR. For this reason, it is reasonable to hypothesize that therapeutic strategies based on n ...
