Excellence in Eye Research
We are a research and development centre created to develop cutting-edge Hi-Tech to support the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, enabling faster implementation of new therapies. We collaborate with the most prestigious eye care centres in Europe and North America, the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London and the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at the University of California, Irvine.
Project overview
The Project was selected in the International Research Agendas competition by the Foundation for Polish Science. The Centre is part of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It is comprised of five independent research groups. The centre has two international partners for translational research and development.
The Institute of Ophthalmology at the University College London in the United Kingdom is our partner for clinical testing and implementation, and our scientific partner for basic and translational research is the University California Irvine in the United States.
