Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision – and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its shape depending on its load but may also play a role in protecting the retina from diseases ranging from diabetic retinopathy […]
Eye diseases often develop asymptomatically for many years. ICTER scientists have developed the f-ORG technique, which analyzes the retina’s reaction to light, helping to detect danger before the first symptoms appear. New research proves that even the smallest changes in photoreceptors can be detected this way. The retina is an extremely complex structure that acts […]
ICTER scientists are opening a new window into the interior of the eye – the place where vision is born, but also where diseases begin. Thanks to the STOC-T technique, it is possible to look deeper than ever before, examining individual nerve cells without complex optical systems. The human eye has fascinated poets, philosophers, and […]
Prof. dr hab. Maciej Wojtkowski, Chair of ICTER, has been awarded a MAESTRO grant from the National Science Centre (NCN) for his project, “Optical Measurements of Retinal Neuronal Responses.” This grant will support pioneering research in retinal neuroscience, advancing our understanding of neuronal responses in the eye and contributing to the development of innovative optical imaging technologies. Detailed […]
On February 18, 2025, ICTER hosted the key beneficiaries of the TRIO-VI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Project from University College London, Institut de la Vision, and 15-20 Hôpital in Paris. The meeting was also attended by a representative of the European Commission and the Director of the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS. Discussions focused on […]
We are thrilled to announce the official kick-off ceremony for the newly awarded Teaming for Excellence project TRIO-VI CoE, granted to ICTER by the European Union under the Horizon Europe framework for research and innovation. Together with the coordinators of two other Teaming for Excellence projects awarded to Polish institutions, we are organizing a special […]
