International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration

PhD students Eline Van Vooren and Eline Geens attended the Retinal Degeneration (RD) meeting in Prague, an exciting international conference bringing together scientists and clinicians dedicated to understanding and treating retinal diseases.

Eline Van Vooren showcased her work on the identification & functional characterization of a novel dominant RPE65 variant.

Meanwhile, Eline Geens presented her research on the pathomechanism of this dominant RPE65 variant using patient-derived iPSC-RPE cells.

Their presentations sparked engaging discussions and highlighted the group’s contributions to advancing knowledge in inherited retinal disorders.
