Francesca Cordeiro, Prof. of Retinal Neurodegeneration and Glaucoma Studies at University College of London
Professor M Francesca Cordeiro, is a clinician scientist. She currently heads the “Glaucoma and Retinal Neurodegeneration Research Group” at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London and is an Honorary Glaucoma Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Western Eye Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, where she is Director of the Clinical Trials Research Unit, Chairman of ICORG (Imperial College Ophthalmic Research Group) and Visiting Professor.
 
Franz Grus, Prof. of Experimental Ophthalmology at University of Mainz
Franz Grus is Head of Experimental and Translational Ophthalmology. Currently he works at the Dept. of Ophthalmology, Gutenberg Universität Mainz. Franz does research in Ophthalmology, Bioinformatics and Immunology. Furthermore, the research is focused on proteomics and immunoproteomics in ocular fluids and tissues acting as proteomics core unit with mass spectrometry and customized microarrays. He is consultant for pharma and startups and interested in translation and commercialization.
 
Jonathan Crowston, Prof. of Ohthalmololgy at Duke-NUS, Medical School, Singapore
 Professor Jonathan Crowston was the Ringland Anderson Professor of Ophthalmology and Managing Director of CERA from 2009 – 2018. He undertook his ophthalmology training at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and was awarded a PhD at the Institute of Ophthalmology and University College London (2000) for basic research in conjunctival wound healing. He completed a Glaucoma Fellowship at the Centre for Vision Research in Sydney, Australia, before joining the Hamilton Glaucoma Centre at University California San Diego, where he subsequently joined the faculty prior to moving to Australia in 2006.
 
James Fawcett, Prof. of Neuroscience Cambridge University Centre for Brain Repair
Chairman of the Cambridge University Centre for Brain Repair until 2018. His main interest is the repair of CNS damage, particularly the spinal cord. He has worked on modification of the extracellular matrix to relieve the inhibition of axon regeneration by glial scar tissue, and on the role of proteoglycans in perineuronal nets in the restriction of plasticity in the adult nervous system. He also works on the design of protocols for clinical trials in spinal cord injury
