Molecular Biology of Retinal Degeneration

The Institute for Ophthalmic Research (IOR), part of the Centre for Ophthalmology at the University Medical Centre Tübingen, offers excellent infrastructure and a dynamic basic and clinical research environment. Led by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Marius Ueffing, it closely collaborates with the University Eye Hospital under Prof. Dr. med. Karl Ulrich Bartz-Schmidt.
The IOR focuses on uncovering causes of degenerative, inflammatory, neoplastic, and vascular eye diseases and developing new diagnostics and therapies. Translational research is conducted together with the University Eye Hospital.
Research centers around four topics: retinal structure and function, disease mechanisms and risk factors, multimodal diagnostics for personalized treatment, and innovative therapies for retinal degeneration.
The Institute offers broad expertise in multi-omics, computational biology, pathophysiology, neurophysiology, pre-clinical studies, and clinical trials. National and international collaborations with academic and industry partners and participation in major funded projects ensure a high level of innovation and cooperation.
