WEBINAR — AMD progression: Assessment with cellular resolution
On March 31th, join Prof. Michel Paques and Prof. Ethan Rossi online as they will explain how they investigate dry AMD phenotypes using cellular-level retinal imaging. In this 30min webinar, they will introduce the latest findings on various stages of AMD, obtained with rtx1 AO cameras at Quinze-Vingts National Eye Hospital (Paris) and UPMC Vision Institute (Pittsburgh).
Questions from the audience will be very welcome.
About the panelists:
Michel Paques, MD PhD, is a professor of ophthalmology and researcher at the Quinze-Vingts National Eye Hospital and Vision Institute in Paris. His research addresses the medical applications of ultrahigh-resolution retinal imaging in humans. Prof. Paques has pioneered the development of clinical applications for adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy in a variety of retinal diseases, including early AMD and geographic atrophy secondary to AMD.
Ethan Rossi, MD PhD, is associate professor of opthalmology at UPMC Vision Institute. His research is focused on developing and deploying advanced ophthalmic imaging tools to study the normal and diseased retina. He has been working with high resolution imaging technologies with adaptive optics for over a decade. This includes an international study in collaboration with Prof. José-Alain Sahel and collaborators in France on how genetics shapes the cellular level retinal phenotype in AMD.
