DETAILED AGENDA AT WEBSITE!

Retinal diseases like Glaucoma and AMD are still a major public health problem throughout the world. Scientific research aimed at identifying new targets and developing new classes of drugs are vital. This second international conference highlights the potential of gene therapy for treatment of retinal diseases, new opportunities for age related macular degeneration and new strategies for ganglion apoptosis and ocular neovascularization. Furthermore, the conference will present state-of-the-art information on:

¥ Glaucoma Gene Myocilin
¥ Ocular Hydrodynamics
¥ Molecular Pathways of Ganglion Cell Death
¥ Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors in Neuroprotection
¥ Etiology of AMD
¥ Genetically Modified RPE Cell Lines and AMD
¥ Retinal Detachment and Edema
¥ Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen Ribozyme against Cell Proliferation in PVR
¥ Ocular Neovascularization
¥ Ocular Gene Therapy

Join the discussion about new therapeutic developments and meet the international experts from academia and industry.
