Summary:
Dr José-Alain Sahel is currently the Director of the Vision Institute and the Laboratory of Excellence "LIFESENSES: senses for a lifetime". He is Professor of Ophthalmology at Pierre and Marie Curie University Medical School, Paris, France and Cumberlege Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, UK. He oversees the research centre that functions in synergy with the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital and whose primary focus is understanding the mechanisms associated with eye diseases, and conception and evaluation of innovative treatments. The Vision Institute comprises more than 15 principal investigators and more than 220 researchers focused on developing novel therapeutic strategies for ocular diseases. Dr Sahel graduated from Paris University Medical School and performed his residency in Ophthalmology in Paris and Strasbourg. He was a research fellow at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School and a visiting lecturer at the Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin. Dr Sahel served as Director of the Eye Pathology Laboratory at the Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg and moved to the Pierre and Marie Curie University in 2002 as Professor of Ophthalmology, Chair of a Department of Ophthalmology at the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital and at the Rothschild Ophthalmology Foundation, and coordinator of the Ophthalmology Clinical Investigation Centre and the National Reference Centre for Retinal Dystrophies. His laboratory conducts translational research on treatments for currently untreatable retinal diseases. Dr Sahel published over 200 peer-reviewed articles in specialty and general audience peer-reviewed journals. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including Foundation Fighting Blindness Trustee Award, Alcon Research Institute Award for Excellence in Vision Research, Grand Prix NRJ-Neurosciences-Institut de France. Dr Sahel is a Member of the Academy of Sciences, Institut de France. He sits on ten editorial boards, including the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Science Translational Medicine, and Archives of Ophthalmology.
