E. Ponzini and A. Duse show their posters during the EVER 2024 congress poster session.With 883 attendees, 52 represented countries, and 460 posters, EVER 2024 Congress (European Association for Vision and Eye Research) has proven to be a highly impactful event for vision research.
Dr. Erika Ponzini from COMiB presented “Investigating the temporal variability of the tear fluid proteome for biomarker discovery” and Alessandro Duse, BSc, presented “Early detection of biochemical changes in tear fluid induced by contact lens wear using Raman spectroscopy” (oral communications, November 5). Both works were also displayed as posters, drawing significant attention and many questions. Thank you for your patience if we couldn’t respond to everyone!
Our collaborators, Gloria Astolfi, MSc, and Prof. Piera Versura, also attended, presenting studies developed with COMiB on innovative topics: a drug delivery system for treating ocular surface diseases and a pilot study on the interaction between tear substitutes and native tear proteins.
