Experimental Ophthalmology Laboratory
DEPARTMENT OF OPHTHALMOLOGY
The Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Clinic is led by Dr. Alfredo García Layana.
It has a multidisciplinary team of professionals with a joint research career of almost 20 years in retinal pathologies, mainly in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
During this time, the laboratory has combined clinical and translational experimentation, thanks to leading and participating in numerous projects funded in individual competitive calls and in ambitious multi-center FIS projects related to genetics, development and progression of AMD.
The laboratory, together with the CSIC and a spinoff (Secugen), has developed a diagnostic kit to determine the risk of development of AMD, which is patent pending.
We actively participate in contracts and projects with the pharmaceutical industry and belong to several research networks in Ophthalmology, such as OFTARED.
