Ophthalmological pharmacology has historically lacked systematic understanding of disease mechanisms, especially of those for the back of the eye. This is now changing with the discovery of novel targets and pathways paired with a greater understanding of the role of genetics in ocular pathologies. The third annual Targeting Ocular Disorders will cover some of the most promising emerging therapies in the treatment of ocular diseases. Special focus will be given to age-related macular degeneration and retinopathy. Designated sessions will emphasize the role of precise imaging techniques and animal models in accelerating preclinical development. Recent solutions in drug delivery to the back of the eye will also be discussed. Final Agenda Now Available NOVEL TARGETS, PATHWAYS AND MECHANISMS OF ACTION
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: New Horizons for Glaucoma Therapy Use of High Content Screening to Identify Targets for the Treatment of Glaucoma and the Retinal Degenerative Disease Nitric Oxide-cGMP Signaling as a Therapeutic Target for Glaucoma Local Modulation of Cytokine Signaling to Treat Anterior and Posterior Ocular Disorders Retinal Inflammasome as a Novel Drug Target in Ischemia and Glaucoma Targeting Rho Kinase for the Treatment of Ocular Diseases Nuclear Receptors as Therapeutic Targets for Age-Related Macular Degeneration Topical, Beta-Adrenergic Agonist as Novel Approach to Treat Diabetic Macular Edema and Retinopathy (DMER) SUPPORTING IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES AND PRECLINICAL MODELS
Utility of in vivo Confocal Microscopy-Based Imaging Endpoints for the Assessment of Ocular Surface Inflammation Using Posterior Segment OCT as a Biomarker in Disease DRUG DELIVERY TO THE POSTERIOR SEGMENT OF THE EYE
Gene Therapy for Wet-AMD Long Acting Delivery of Antibody Therapeutics to the Back of the Eye Intraocular Implant Technology Providing Sustained Delivery of Therapeutic Proteins to the Back of the Eye NEW APPROACHES TO GENE THERAPY
