The MacTel project is an international observational clinical study designed to evaluate the structural and functional changes associated with MacTel type 2 over a 5-year period. In addition, a group of laboratories with complimentary expertise is assessing the pathobiology of the disease to improve the understanding of its pathogenesis and potential treatment. The project includes 22 clinical centres in seven countries with laboratories in three different countries.

Join Professor Marcus Fruttiger in this free webinar where he speaks about how an unusual research project managed to achieve breakthroughs in understanding and treating a rare eye disease.

There will be an opportunity to interact and ask questions afterwards.
