Our poster details a novel approach to studying light-induced retinal damage in African green monkeys, aiming to simulate conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). This research is crucial for developing a deeper understanding of retinal degeneration, providing a controlled environment to study the effects of light exposure on retinal health.

 The findings from our study demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in mimicking rapid, synchronized photoreceptor cell death. This model is particularly important for preclinical research as it offers a valuable tool for assessing the efficacy of neuroprotective compounds and understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying retinal degeneration.

Virscio utilizes this model to enhance our capabilities in preclinical research, offering our partners reliable and reproducible data to inform the development of innovative neuroprotective treatments. Our commitment to advancing retinal health research ensures that therapeutic strategies are not only effective but also tailored to mitigate the impacts of light-induced damages in retinal diseases.

In this scientific poster, you will learn more about:

• Understanding of the mechanisms behind light-induced retinal damage
• Evaluation of neuroprotective compounds in a controlled preclinical model
• Insights into the pathological processes of retinal degeneration
• Benefits of using nonhuman primate models for preclinical studies on retinal diseases
