Welcome back to top
Dear friends and colleagues,
The success of the previous International Age-related Macular Degeneration Symposia held in beautiful Baden-Baden inspired us to organize the 8th Symposium in 2023.
Over the last years there have been major break- throughs in our understanding of pathogenetic factors in multifactorial, complex AMD. We are approaching an era of new targets and strategies for treatments. It therefore is timely to review our current understanding and seek for translation into novel therapies.
We invite you to Baden-Baden in the heart of the Black Forest to the
8th International Symposium
on Age-related Macular Degeneration
Understanding pathogenetic mechanism –
towards clinical translation
We look forward to welcoming you in beautiful Baden-Baden.
