The Experimental and Translational Ophthalmology of the University Eye Clinic Mainz under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. Dr. Franz Grus is an institution aiming for successful clinically oriented basic research. The focus of research here is on the glaucoma disease, where we are trying to investigate an autoimmune component of the disease, but also on the retinal diseases, such as AMD and ocular surface disease analysis by means of tear film-, body fluid- or tissue analysis. Methodologically, high-throughput mass spectrometric proteomics studies, microarrays and immunological investigations are in the foreground. Furthermore, the processes are to be investigated based on cell culture models and established animal models in the working group.
