In Vitro Retinal Models: A New Era in Drug Discovery & Gene Therapy

Dr Maria Georgiou discusses the real impact of human in vitro retinal models in producing higher quality data and ultimately safer drugs.

During the talk Dr Georgiou shares details on:

• The generation of human (iPSC)-derived 3D retinal organoids (ROs) and RPE monolayers closely recapitulating in vivo structure and physiology.
• Application of retinal models and drug modality evaluation, illustrated through case studies demonstrating their translational relevance.
