How genetic-risk variants of age–related macular degeneration shape pathogenic inflammation
Lecture of Visiting Scientist Florian Sennlaub
Dr. Florian Sennlaub earned his medical degree in Germany, followed by doctoral training and a Ph.D. in Paris, and completed his postdoctoral training in Montréal. In 2005, he joined INSERM and has led a research team at the Vision Institute in Paris since 2008. His laboratory investigates the role of innate immunity in retinal diseases, especially in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). His research has revealed how genetic AMD-risk variants influence innate immune cells, disrupt subretinal immune suppression, and hinder the resolution of inflammation. Collectively, his findings highlight the impact of these risk variants on inflammation in AMD, suggesting new therapeutic strategies to prevent pathogenic, non-resolving MP accumulation in AMD.

Open Science in Medical Research – Boost your Impact and Meet Current Requirements
When? Thursday, 13.02.25 from 9-11:00
This workshop aims at showing how Open Science practices can enhance research’s impact/visibility and credibility. This will be achieved by introducing the concept of and tools for preregistration as well as by introducing and fostering understanding of journal and funding requirements for Open Science. These first glimpses into OS as well as tools and tipps serve to empower participants to (at least) think of integrating Open Science into their projects.
