The international Research Training Group (iRTG) 3130 limits2vision investigates the delicate balance between energy consumption and visual information processing in the retina, how energy metabolism operates in the healthy retina and how it is altered in retinal diseases.
To launch limits2vision, two of the leading vision research institutes in Europe joined forces – the Institute for Ophthalmic Research (IOR) at the University of Tübingen and the Institut de la Vision (IDV) of Sorbonne Université in Paris – building on a long-standing scientific collaboration.
limits2vision receives core funding from:
International Research Training Group “Energy vs. Information: Identifying the Limits that Determine the Function of the Retina and the Visual System (limits2vision)” (GRK 3130/1)
