Paul H Hughes is a renowned refractive surgeon in Australia gaining his BSc and MBBS from the University of NSW in Sydney, Australia. He introduced the early refractive procedures into Australia and was one of the first ophthalmologists to have his own private refractive suites, an ophthalmic centre of excellence (Southline eye centre). He has made the journey from Refractive Keratectomy (RK) through Automated Lamellar Keratoplasy (ALK) to Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) then to laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with the excimer laser and is now using the femtosecond laser (Visumax) to perform 3rd generation refractive surgery Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Hughes has published many peer reviewed papers and spoken regularly at international ophthalmic meetings over the years. As a refractive surgeon he is very aware of the importance of Ocular Surface Disease (OSD) and its effect on excellent surgical outcomes.

She started her career as a researcher at the Institute of Neurophysiology of the CNR in Pisa directed by Prof L. Maffei, studying adult visual function. She was at University of Pennsylvania (Prof J. Sprague) and at Max-Plank Institute fur psychiatrie, Munich (prof H. Hollender). Later she became interested in the mechanism of the pre and post-natal development of the visual system. She studied the role of neurotransmitters release in collaboration with Prof L. Chalupa and environmental stress (Dr D. Protti). The main interest during the last decade is concentrated on the mechanisms involved in retinal degeneration and protection. She is enrolled in a research program in collaboration with colleagues from Università Cattolica in Rome (prof Falsini) and University of Sydney (prof J.Stone) focused on the relationship between: 1) genetic background, environmental factors and disease progression; and 2) efficacy of antioxidant/neuroprotective treatments. The most recent work is increasingly therapy-oriented. A successful clinical trial on the therapeutic effects of saffron on Age Related Macular Degeneration patients was carried out in collaboration with Prof B. Falsini at Policlinico Gemelli (università Cattolica di Roma). She was partner PI in the Telethon Project Development and application of opto-neural prosthetic devices as a therapeutic approach for Retinitis pigmentosa” coordinator prof. Lanzani- Politecnico di Milano other Partner Prof Benfenati IIT and University of Genova. She is full professor of physiology and External Collaborator NetS Laboratory Neuroscience and Brain Technologies (NBT) Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) Genova (Italy).

The development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the care of patients with diseases of the ocular surface.

Dr. Carl Sheridan is an internationally renowned cell biologist with research experience in ocular cell biology since 1991. His areas of focus have centered on ocular wound healing and cell transplantation research with published papers concerning the ocular surface, cornea, outflow pathway as well as retinal pathologies such as proliferative vitroretinopathy (PVR) and AMD. He has published and reviewed for almost all Ophthalmology scientific journals as well as chaired at international Ophthalmology conferences. He has a keen interest in both tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches to prevent and restore sight loss and is passionate that cross discipline research is key to achieving this goal.
