Amazing to see so many great results from the first funding period of #spp2127 at ProRetinaDE #potsdammeeting and to be able to see so many members of first and second funding period again!

Marius #ueffing Universität Tübingen EyeRisk giving the keynote lecture on "systems-biology view on age-related macular degeneration" #AMD involving risk factors like #genetics, age and #lifestyle choices. Interesting topic and great talk!

We all got to know the importance of viruses im our lives. Dominik #Fischer University of Oxford Uniklinikum Tübingen highlights another virus type - #AAVs - in retinal #GeneTherapy and the influence of the immune response in this treatment ProRetinaDE #PotsdamMeeting2022

We stay in the topic of #AAVs in retinal #GeneTherapy but throw in some #CRISPRa-Cas9 as the (epi)genome editing approach. Thanks to Elvir #Becirovic Universität München for the introduction to this method! ProRetinaDE #PotsdamMeeting2022

After a long evening at the swinging poster session with great #networking and an interesting morning session on the role of #metabolism and #mitochondria in retinal diseases, we are starting into the last session of this #PotsdamMeeting2022 ProRetinaDE

So inspiring to finally attend a real, live, non-virtual conference again. Exciting talks and face-to-face discussions with friends and brilliant colleagues!! ProRetinaDE #PotsdamMeeting2022

Marius #Ader from CRTD TU Dresden talks about incorporation, polarisation and maturation of #photoreceptors transplanted into models of retinal degeneration - fascinating research in cooperation with Mike O. Karl @VBusskamp

Interested in advancing #optogenetics and #genetherapy to cure eye diseases? Exciting #job opportunity! #PhD position in #neuroscience available Philipps-Universität as part of the SPP2127 consortium! Deadline: 06 May 2022 Link: lindnerlab.de/index.php/news…

Hi 👋 from the kick off meeting of the second funding period of this SPP 2127! Great to meet so many of our members in person, discuss the projects of the next years and get this programme started! 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Our major review on #Optogenetic #GeneTherapy for visual restoration is now published at Prog Retin Eye Res! doi.org/10.1016/j.pret… Philipps-Universität University of Oxford SPP2127 Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences

Looking for a #PhDposition? Join our SPP2127 in the lab of Kevin #Achberger at Universität Tübingen on the topic of human retinal #organoid for the development of an RNA-base editing therapy for the treatment of #RetinitisPigmentosa! find more information here: spp2127.de/open-positions

Another great job offer in our network: #postdoc position at CRTD Hochschulmedizin_TUD in Ader lab on human #iPSC-derived cells, including photoreceptors and RPE, for transplantation into mouse models of #RetinalDegeneration more information: spp2127.de/open-positions

Very pleased to share this manuscript on our latest work led by Felix Wagner @felixwa35052938 on human photoreceptor cell transplantation into human retina organoids. /1 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Congrats on the latest publication, Moritz Lindner! 🥳

Join Moritz Lindner lab at Philipps-Universität and be a part of our consortium! 🤓👩‍🔬

With this picture of (most of) the current SPP2127 members, we are closing our first in-person meeting of this funding period. After two days of great minds, great ideas and great fun, we are looking forward to more meetings and amazing science!

Second day of our annual summer school. Our young scientists are developing new research ideas, forming collaborations and experiencing the first steps of grant writing! Thank you for having us in Dresden!
