7th International Symposium on AMD: Age-related Macular Degeneration – Understanding Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Disease
20.09. - 21.09.2019, Baden-Baden
Welcome
Dear Colleague,
during recent years there have been major advances in understanding pathogenetic factors in multifactorial complex age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The recent revolution in genetic and molecular biological studies as well as imaging and artificial intelligence has contributed significantly to our understanding of AMD. However, many open questions are still to be addressed.
We are approaching an era of new targets for therapy based on better differentiation, refined phenotyping and predictive markers of age-related macular disease. Four years after the last international Baden-Baden AMD meeting it appears timely to review emerging concepts.
We invite you again to beautiful Baden-Baden in the heart of the Blackwood Forest to the
VII. International DOG-Symposium on AMD: Age-related Macular Degeneration – Understanding Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Disease
We look forward to welcoming you in Baden-Baden!
