  Lead System Designer

  I build special glasses that amplify the visual signal and stimulate the retina. The device is part of a system in which the retina has been genetically loaded with a protein sensitive to light. The aim is to restore vision for some blind people (retinitis pigmentosa). The device should be homologated to run clinical trials.
