DOPS 2014 "The Art of Sight"
Following on the legacies of the succesful DOPS (Dutch Opthalmology PhD Students) conferences from 2012 and 2013, DOPS 2014 was also organized by a collaboration of PhD students between two major ophthalmic research centres: Amsterdam and Nijmegen. DOPS2014 was entitled: "The Art of Sight".

Ann-Sofie Schauwvlieghe
Amsterdam Medical Centre
Myrte Breukink
Radboud UMC Nijmegen
Nazli Demirkaya
Amsterdam Medical Centre
Project: Comparison of bevacizumab and ranibizumab in various retinal diseases (Cost-effectiveness) and finishing the comparison in exudative age-related macular degeneration. Monitoring the ongoing RCTs for retinal vein occlusion and diabetic macular edema. Additional retrospective research related to these topics.
Hobbies:
Reading, writing and cycling
My project is about chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). We're mainly looking at the pathofysiology and the long-term outcomes. We also started up a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the use of photodynamic therapy and micropulse laser treatment in chronic CSC patients.
Hobbies:
Traveling, snowboarding and playing soccer
Projects: ANISOCORE and NOVICE: studies on''HIV-associated neuroretinal disorder''. ANISOCORE assesses the relationship between structural retinal neural damage, functional retinal loss, cognitive deficits and subtle brain alterations in HIV-1-infected patients with sustained viral suppression on cART in comparison to HIV-uninfected controls. The NOVICE Study is similar to ANISOCORE, but we compare a pediatric study population with healthy controls.
Hobbies:
Surrealism, roller scating, and photography
Michel Teussink
Radboud UMC Nijmegen
Marchien Dallinga
Amsterdam Medical Centre
My project is to develop functional retinal imaging techniques, for use in diagnostics. We use highly specialized acquisition methods and algorithms to determine changes in optical properties of photoreceptor cells, after they are 'activated' after stimulation with light. We also assess if these changes indicate functionality of photoreceptors,
and the presence of functional photoreceptors in retinae of patients with retinal dystrophies.
Hobbies:
Movies, soccer and astronomy
My project is about retinal neovascularization. We’re looking for new proteins involved in the growth of blood vessels (angiogenesis). To be more specific: we’re trying to find regulating mechanisms for the
leading cells of new blood vessels (tip cell). We use cell culture methods, confocal microscopy, cell sorting (FACS) and zebrafish models.
Hobbies:
Playing field hockey, piano, member of a pubquiz-team
