Throughout the decades, our team has dedicated to the conducts of innovative clinical trials and ocular imaging studies aimed to enhance our knowledge while bringing new therapeutic options for retinal vascular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion and vaso-occlusive diseases, retinal degeneration as well as uveitic and ocular inflammatory diseases. Our efforts, often started with first-in-human trials, have led to the availability of VEGF-antagonists such as ranibizumab and aflibercept, interleukin inhibitors such as tocilizumab and sarilumab, and mTOR inhibitors such as sirolimus for many patients throughout the world. We have developed and perfected approaches to plan and execute effectively and economically multi-centered investigator-sponsored trials. We have also established teams that receive, process, and grade ocular images of the anterior and posterior segments and teams that coordinate the successful conducts of studies. Medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty members from around the globe, near and far, have joined our team to pursue our mission in enhancing the knowledge, diagnosis, and management of retinal and uveitic diseases through clinical research to preserve and improve vision for our patients. We are committed to the success of every team member.
