The foundation
We welcome you to the Barcelona Macula Foundation: Research for Vision
Mission
The main motivation behind the Barcelona Macula Foundation: Research for Vision is to conduct and support research into diseases of the retina and macula that cause blindness and have no effective treatment, in order to restore or prevent loss of vision. The principal focus of interest is macular and retinal degeneration, such as atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt’s disease.
Vision
At the BMF we work alongside institutions and corporations linked to the scientific elite to revert vision pathologies which until recently were incurable and to make blindness a problem of the past.
Objectives
Primary
- Prevent blindness or restore sight.
Our responsibility is to society, our sponsors, our colleagues and, above all, our patients.
Secondary
- To build new therapeutic approaches to macular and retinal degeneration on cellular therapies, tissue engineering and transplantation, and biomaterials applied to these therapies.
- To promote a better understanding of degenerative diseases of the macula and the retina in the scientific world and in society. The general public, and patients in particular, are a key part of our activities.
- To become a key player internationally by creating a network for more efficient and focused research.
The Barcelona Macula Foundation is an organization composed of people who are committed to a shared project. Discover who we are.
