Experimental porcine models of retinal ischemia
Retinal ischaemia resulting from e.g. diabetes, vein thrombosis or arterial occlusion, is one of the major causes of visual impairment and blindness. Although new methods of treatment are being developed, there is still a need for more effective pharmacological forms of treatment. The aim of this …

Anatomical and functional correlates in ischaemic retinal vein occlusion
Ischaemic retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a potentially blinding condition that is not fully understood, and entails a higher risk of developing complications and poorer prognosis than non-ischaemic RVO. This PhD project was designed to improve the level of understanding on ischaemic RVO as well as …

Characterisation of endothelial cell metabolic plasticity and vascular remodelling in the retina
… severe vision loss. A key component cell of the retinal neurovascular unit is the vascular endothelium, which is significantly impacted by the diabetic milieu. It has now been established that the endothelium relies on glycolytic metabolism predominantly for ATP generation, however the degree of …
