Ongoing projects
Identification of new retinal dystrophies genes and characterization of genotype-phenotype correlations
The aim of this research project is to identify new causative genes of retinal dystrophies, in order to contribute to the knowledge and diagnosis of these diseases.
Holocore FUP
Long-term safety and follow-up study after autologus cultivated limbal stem cells transplantation for restoretion of corneal epithelium in patients with limbal stem deficiency due to ocular burns.
BST- Cordó umbilical
Evaluation of the effectiveness and security of umbilical cord blood eyedrops for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis.
Project history
Mass sequencing of exomes for the identification of new genes and variants responsible for retinal dystrophies
Retinitis pigmentosa, with a prevalence of 1 in 4,000 people and more than one million sufferers worldwide, is the most common retinal dystrophy. These diseases are neurodegenerative and caused by the death of the photoreceptors and cells of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Helix
