Conclusions to our #PIawayday and our exciting roadmap towards #ORIEL and 2030. Thank you Andrew Dick @AJ_Hardcastle and all of UCL Institute of Ophthalmology for the inspiring event and location. And of course to the facilitators StriveHigher. Thoroughly enjoyed it!


How can we use cell shapes and geometry to study mechanics of tissues? I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social and with this thread I would like to show you the secrets of cells and tissues. Let’s connect biology with a little bit of physics. Don't be scared and get inspired 😀. #EpithelialMechanics



We're looking for a Research Fellow to join Rodrigo Young's newly established research team at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, to investigate the role of genes related to human eye globe defects during development. This opportunity closes on 16 September. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Sign up for our next Cross #Innovation Hub Matching Event. We will hear from Dr Matteo Rizzi and UCL Translational Research Office. 📅 Tue 24 Sept, 17:00 🔗forms.office.com/e/PbviX0J0En 🍕Pizza included! UCL Institute of Ophthalmology | Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Pr Nikolas Pontikos is presenting Artificial Intelligence in Inherited Retinal Diseases online from UK. It is a very interesting topic for our participants!


Researchers have developed AIRDetect, a #DeepLearningModel analysing 45,749 retinal images. This #innovation accelerates diagnosis and treatment of inherited retinal diseases. 🔗buff.ly/3CsZCGs UCL Institute of Ophthalmology Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust UCL Translational Research Office Accessible video: buff.ly/4jvGYPc

Yesterday, Nikolas Pontikos shared insights on Eye2Gene's translation from an idea to pre-spin-out at UCL Business Ltd's I/O Lab Coffee Club. BRC supported, Eye2Gene harnesses #AI to accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of inherited retinal diseases to make care more #accessible.



An exciting morning at #UCLFESR2025: We heard from ECRs who shared their experience on the journey bringing their research to market through UCL’s support functions UCL Translational Research Office, UCL Business, UCL Consultants and UCL Innovation & Enterprise #UCLFESR2025 #FESR2025
