About the Project
Description
Towards immunomodulatory and anti(lymph)angiogenic therapies for age-related blinding eye diseases
Collaborative Research Center (CRC) on age-related blinding eye diseases is the second ophthalmological CRC in the history of DFG (the first one being SFB 539 on Glaucoma in Erlangen 1997-2009). The „EYE-CRC“ in Cologne consists of 16 individual projects usually led by two project leaders and 5 additional core units.
BI-K is mainly involved in the CRC's project Z05 on Data management, data mining and image analysis (“INF-Information Infrastructure Project”). The goal of this central INF project is to provide software and hardware infrastructure and methodology for storage, management, retrieval and analysis of the data generated within the CRC 1607, with particular focus on images. Almost every project in this consortium will generate imaging data and will also be linked to the central project Z02. Among various data modalities exploited in this CRC, images will undeniably play a central role. To address the needs and challenges of data handling as well as to make the best quantitative and qualitative use of the experimental outputs of this CRC, we will build data repositories and image analysis pipelines that are applicable across all of its research projects.
