Our main objective is that the preclinical results reach patients as soon as possible, once the safety and effectiveness of the treatments have been proven.

To this end, IOBA has three major research programs:

  • Eyeinflammation
  • Advanced therapies applied to eye diseases
  • Telemedicine

IOBA’s mission is to generate knowledge

Through applied research, which means that we seek solutions through research for the most prevalent and relevant ophthalmologic pathologies as well as for so-called “rare diseases” on the cutting edge of knowledge and translation.
