Virtual eye clinics in shopping centres could significantly reduce waiting times for routine eye appointments, @UCLeye-led research suggests in a first-of-its-kind study. ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/jul/…

As a PhD student at the @UCLeye, Gabriela sees first-hand how research changes lives. That’s why she’s walking #EyetoEye – to help fund the breakthroughs that will shape the future of eye care. Thank you, Gabriela, for stepping up and supporting #TeamMoorfields!

Researchers at @UCLeye and @MoorfieldsBRC have developed an artificial intelligence tool, Eye2Gene, that can predict the cause of genetic eye diseases. buff.ly/9yGY9c5

Writing a grant and need #PPIE or #EDI guidance? Our BRC offers resources and free on-demand training to help researchers seamlessly integrate both into their work. Open to all researchers - register here: buff.ly/40Dwt57 @Moorfields @UCLeye

Open to all. Have your say on what art, heritage and 'science on show' could be on display in our new centre for eye care, research and education. This public engagement initiative focuses on the creative programme for @UCLeye's upcoming new home. smartsurvey.co.uk/s/OrielCreativ…

It’s incredibly hard to express what Professor Pete Coffey meant to so many of us. The @MacularSociety has written a beautiful tribute to Pete and I'm honoured to have contributed a few words. Thank you, my friend, for so many happy days. macularsociety.org/about/media/ne…

Researcher Shubhank Verma has shown that patients in areas of greater socioeconomic deprivation have retinal features suggestive of accelerated ageing. Shubhank is at @pearsekeane's AI lab @UCLeye @Moorfields, enabled by INSIGHT. Read about this & more: bit.ly/4kkt01Z

Throughout June UCL staff and doctoral students attended Transform: Creating impact through knowledge exchange, a series of events designed to help them transform their research and knowledge into real world impact. Read more: bit.ly/3ZVNUNf #UCLTransform

Today is #ResearchAppreciationDay! In this short video, we hear from Professor @AndrewDick4, Director of @UCLEye speaking to us at the Early Career Researchers Symposium on 10 June 2025. Thank you to all of our amazing researchers for their dedication to their research!

Today Prof @MariyaMoosajee gave 'A Crash Course in: gene therapy' at @TheCrick, bringing the science to life with real-world examples from her lab’s work on genetic eye diseases. @UCLeye @Moorfields

We caught up with Professor Matteo Carandini (@UCLEye) to hear what first sparked his interest in visual neuroscience—and what has inspired him most throughout his career. ▶️ucl.ac.uk/brain-sciences…

👀New from Lister Fellow @anthonykhawaja et al. @Moorfields @uk_biobank @UCLeye @MoorfieldsBRC 🔗doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6… ✅ Grip strength, thigh muscle volume & walking pace linked to lower glaucoma risk in men ✅ Association stronger in those with higher genetic risk

If you missed @UCLeye 's 2025 Annual Lecture with @tcddublin @tcdgenmicro's Professor Jane Farrar you can now watch it on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=2dL-i9…

Our @MoorfieldsBRC, @UCLeye's partnership with @Moorfields, are looking for a new Manager. If you have extensive experience of research management at senior level and the ability to shape strategic direction, consider applying by 14 July. moorfields.nhs.uk/about-us/join-…

In an interview with @OphthoMag, co-founder of Cascader Ltd, @pearsekeane, shares the company’s strategy for taking ophthalmic #AI from academic research to the clinic. Cascader is a strategic partnership between @Moorfields @UCLeye @TopconHealth theophthalmologist.com/issues/2025/ar…

Congratulations to all of the winners of the @IooECR awards! We're so proud to support the next generation of researchers and the future of eye health!

Congratulations to @UCLeye's @IooECR community for delivering another inspiring annual early career researchers' symposium last week and to all recipients of the IoO ECR awards 2025. ucl.ac.uk/brain-sciences…
