Vall d’Hebron Institut of Research (VHIR) and Vall d’Hebron University Hospital have signed a collaboration agreement with the "http://www.barcelonamaculafound.org/en_index/" Barcelona Macula Foundation (BMF) with the aim of boosting research into the eye diseases which lead to blindness and for which there is no efficient treatment, such as AMD, Stargardt’s Disease or pigmentary retinosis. The collaboration framework will benefit from the research synergies between the three centres to help in the development of the research field in promoting the generation, exchange and transfer through research projects, clinical trials and innovation together with joint activities. VHIR’s director, Dr. Joan X. Comella, the general manager of the hospital, Dr. José J. Navas, and the Medical Director of the BMF, Dr. Jordi Monés, formalized the signing at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital. BMF have an experience of 20 years of research, design and conduct of clinical trials for severe loss of vision.
