"This is a global health crisis that demands urgent, innovative solutions to preserve quality of life for millions. By putting those living with ocular disease at the forefront of research, INNOVISION gives us the opportunity to really address this crisis." Dr Fitzhenry stated. INNOVISION brings together a world-class network of partners, including the University of Iceland and Experimentica (Finland) to recruit highly qualified postdoctoral researchers to tackle the growing concern of ocular disease. Additional collaborators span the globe, notably McMaster University (Canada) and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (USA), and patient advocacy organisations Fighting Blindness (Ireland) and the Dry Eye Foundation (USA). Additional network partners include University College Dublin, Queens University Belfast, University of Birmingham, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Loyola University Chicago, Rowan University, and industry leaders including Bausch+Lomb, SiriusXT, OcuDel, and OcuMedic. Professor Veronica Campbell, SETU President commented, "We are delighted to launch INNOVISION and work with outstanding global partners to tackle this critical challenge. This initiative not only provides a unique opportunity for researchers and industry alike to make a real difference in people's lives, but it demonstrates that SETU and Ireland's South East are a driver of innovative, impactful, and creative research. We are especially pleased to see such strong engagement from industry partners, whose involvement will help ensure that research outcomes translate into real-world solutions for people living with vision impairment." Over the course of the programme, INNOVISION will recruit 12 experienced postdoctoral researchers to work across this global network. These researchers will embark on cutting-edge projects exploring a wide range of topics, including drug delivery, drug discovery, and novel therapeutic approaches to combat vision impairment and blindness. "Industry involvement is a vital part of INNOVISION's mission. We want to continue to grow the network over the next five years, expanding the potential for impact and real-world benefits", says Programme Manager Tess Ames.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgOK, let's dig in... With our first interview of the season with two remarkable women Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross whose recent book “Your Brain on Art has garnered huge attention since its recent release. But first a few thoughts on art and making...****************When I was about 9 years old and my mom had me in an after school art program at a local painting studio near my childhood home. Thursdays, as it would turn out, became the single time of the week where the outside world disappeared and I entered into a place of pure creativity and innovation which many years later I would discover was called “flow.”Even to this day Thursdays seemed to hold a special body memory for me of calm and an internal sense of both peace and joy. Thursdays somehow carry a different energy from me that I think was implanted in my body all those years ago where my creative passion was fully expressed.For years I would paint on Thursdays and that turned into a passion that became a profession as an architect. I wasn't great at math or physics but I was pretty confident about my skills in art and I knew that there was something specific about the feeling that I had in going to this small art studio that was because of the things I was doing as well as the place that I was doing it in. So studying architecture was always grounded in this idea for me of creating places that moved people emotionally. It didn't matter to me too much whether you loved it or hated it, although I would have preferred you loved it. But my goal was always to connect to people on an emotional level to find the right combination of materials and finishes space volumes and textures and all those other things that we have in our architects toolbox and how we moved through and experience space from a mind – body emotional perspective.I think early on I developed an aesthetic mindset. I seemed to have a high level of curiosity, a love of play and open-ended exploration, a keen sensory awareness and a drive to engage in activities as a maker or beholder. Through my architecture studies at McGill University I discovered principles of experience rooted in ritual and that there was a very different physical and emotional feeling connected to participating in ritual versus simply watching them. I was always very interested in how people participated in space. How they participated in the making of their experiences because I always believed that in making we brought something unique to the world that humans were capable of doing better than any other creatures on the planet. I developed a keen interest in ontological design - basically put - that the things we make return the favor by in part making us who we are. Our neurobiology reacts to the environment around us and so our mind body state is directly influenced by what we experience in the built environment. Our brains are in a feedback loop of making and being made by experience.The Irish poet John O'Donoghue once said “art is the essence of awareness” and I find that particularly relevant to how we experience the places that we build and how we interact with them. What I learned as a young artist on Thursday afternoons was that somehow in the making of things I became acutely aware of my mind body state as well as my surroundings.As I started to create and design retail places it seemed that everywhere I walked the world around me became more relevant I was tuning in to everything that I could see and hear. When in the middle of trying to solve a design challenge, I seemed to tune into things that might not have otherwise been apparent to me.What I found interesting was that this attunement to the environment around me also grew a connection between my sensory experiences and my appreciation of art. As I engaged more fully in the environment around me and the various kinds of arts I also learned more about myself. During the recent pandemic I turned to painting to help navigate the uncertainty and ambiguity of a global crisis that had left everything that I had believed to be true and a path that I had created for myself professionally in flux. Art it seemed became the grounding mechanism that calmed my nervous system that brought joy amidst uncertainty.Over the past few decades as a creative architect I've become acutely aware that the environment around us has a profound effect on our mind body state, our sense of well-being, our feelings of joy, community, connection, belonging, relevance. Being exposed to the arts provided context and meaning, a way for me to understand where I stood in the grand scheme of things. And art also gave me a sense of agency of being able to have a sense of control and to bring things into the world that had never been there before.And so, because of all of these understandings I have a deep appreciation for the book recently published by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross called “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us.”This book is wildly successful because I believe it is a writing whose time has come. It brings forward the ideas that the arts are fundamental to who we are as people and that long before we had written language we danced around fires sang songs, made drawings on walls and shared the meaning of our lives with each other by being in community, in relationships, participating in rituals and making. And so, it's not surprising that the arts in all of its forms visual,  literary, dance, sculpture and others are part of who we are as individuals and as members of a broader human whole.When I bought this book I thought that it would help me understand the neuroscience of what was happening in my brain as I stood in front of a painting. But it did more than that. It helped to unpack why I was led to feel certain ways about my experience of art in general including paintings, dance, musical theater, poetry, a good movie and a great book.It was chock full of examples and great research on how the arts are used in healing practices and health care industry to augment patient recovery. It looked at how the arts are being used in education, though not nearly enough, to enhance learning.Your brain on Art also brought me greater understanding about making music and how memories are tied to our experiences of hearing music. That's why it's likely you can clearly remember tunes from your childhood and tag them to early childhood experiences. Or why your playlists from your high school years probably are still able to be recalled with ease. And why I can remember the high school dance and my girlfriend at the time and the song Lucky Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer and that kiss.The book dives into understanding arts and the neurodivergent brain and play and how these are critical to our development.And if all of that wasn't quite enough it digs into the idea of how the arts support flourishing and asks the question - What constitutes a good life? I did not know that there is a burgeoning subfield of neuroscience and psychology now dedicated to identifying and understanding the neural mechanisms that contribute to a state of flourishing. And Your Brain on Art brings to light some of the neuroscience related to creativity, awe and wonder.Your Brain on Art is a collaborative effort between two remarkable women who together combine neuroscience and creative vision into a must-read book.Susan Magsamen has over 35 years of experience in developing effective learning programs rooted in the science of learning and is an active member of the brain sciences research, arts, education and social impact communities. She currently serves as Executive Director of the International Arts and Mind Lab, Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics at the Brain Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University where she is also a faculty member.

Two recent drug approvals changed the game for ocular surface disease: Xdemvy (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25 percent (Tarsus Pharmaceuticals) for Demodex blepharitis, and Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) from Bausch + Lomb and Novaliq for evaporative dry eye disease. On today's podcast, two ocular surface disease experts talk about these and other developments related to dry eye.Our guests:Laura Periman, MD, aka “the dry eye master” and founder of Periman Eye InstituteLisa Nijm, MD, JD, a corneal, cataract, and Lasik specialist at Warrenville Eyecare and Lasik in Warrenville, IllinoisDr. Periman was an investigator in the Xdemvy clinical trials, and Dr. Nijm was involved in an extended observational study.“Before Xdemvy, patients' options were limited,” Dr. Nijm told host Carey Powers. “When treated with Xdemvy, at one year, about 60 percent of patients still had clearance of Demodex.”Periman noted that during clinical trials, within a week or two she noticed “impressive improvements” in redness, reduction of collarette, and mite load in patients treated with Xdemvy. She also said the drug was “extremely well tolerated.”Miebo, a product designed to prevent excessive tear evaporation in patients with dry eye, is also expected to bring relief to a wide number of people. Dr. Periman sees Miebo as a “rapid go-to” for patients with an evaporative component, as it will potentially allow the ocular surface to protect the cornea as it's supposed to.These two products alone will help make ocular surface diseases easier to manage; however, other exciting innovations emerging later this year could liven up the playing field.Listen to the podcast today to discover:Drs. Periman and Nijm's insights into the Xdemvy clinical trias and why they're not surprised the drug received early FDA approval.How to identify Demodex in the clinic: a quick tip from Dr. Periman.Why patient education around lid hygiene remains important even with use of Xdemvy.How to best use the latest dry eye treatments to treat ocular surface disease.What makes Miebo a unique and widely applicable product.Innovations on the horizon in dry eye disease, from pharmaceuticals to neurostimulators.How the aesthetic components of dry eye disease factor into clinical care.[Listen Now]ResourcesLisa Nijm, MD, JD: warrenvilleeyecare.comLaura Periman, MD:  dryeyemaster.com/about-laura-perimanCarey Powers: ois.net/carey-powers

Yari Mitchell spent nearly 13 years with AcuFocus, an ophthalmic device company, before overseeing its acquisition by Bausch + Lomb. As head of Y Factor Consulting, she now helps innovators move their product from the lab to a funded company.Greg Kunst, President and CEO of Aurion Biotech, a cell therapy company, led the start-up to a $120 million raise in 2022.Both Mitchell and Kunst sat down with host Carey Powers to discuss two topics they're more than familiar with: raising capital and navigating M&As.When you're working to raise funding, a gift for storytelling will take you far, they said. That story must show how your product will take market share or otherwise deliver value. The story must be unique enough to spark interest, but not so unique that it scares off investors.“You need to have a clear unmet need and you have to be different,” said Kunst.Start-up founders must also consider reimbursement paths as early in the process as feasible.Mitchell and Kunst also advised listeners on how to stand out when you have a limited budget. Hint: an organized pitch deck trumps a flashy but disjointed presentation.Navigating topics ranging from product differentiation to pitching complex scientific ideas to running out of money, both Mitchell and Kunst came back to a quote commonly attributed to Zig Ziglar:“It's never as good or as bad as you think it is.”Listen to the podcast today to discover:Start-ups solve scientific problems in many ways.

Blake Williamson, MD, MPH, and Gary Wörtz, MD, continue this season's theme of how to grow a business and welcome Brent Saunders, chairman and CEO of Bausch + Lomb, to discuss his experiences in ophthalmology. Mr. Saunders touches on how he defines business success, emphasizing the value of having a great mentor and encouraging young ophthalmologists not to shy away from taking risks. 

If ophthalmology clinical trials were burgers, mitomycin would be the mustard at the table of every U.S. restaurant with a burger on the menu.*Using this analogy, Mitsol, developed and manufactured by Mobius Therapeutics, is the only FDA-approved mitomycin-c “mustard” formulation with an ophthalmic indication.In reality, the mitomycin story in ophthalmology is more complicated than that, says Ed Timm, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Mobius Therapeutics.Mitomycin-c is used by ophthalmologists to prevent scarring during surgery. Before the FDA approved Mitosol, surgeons would have to obtain a formulation of the antimetabolite from a compounding pharmacy. Because of its instability, the effectiveness of off-label use could vary.All that changed with the arrival of Mitosol, which is a standardized product that requires no refrigeration, no light-shielding, and has a 24-month shelf life.Unfortunately, ophthalmologists still have to develop off-label formulations of other products for use during surgery, which leads to unpredictable outcomes.Mobius is doing its part to change that.With podcast host Rob Rothman, MD, Timm discusses the benefits of using an assuredly sterile, assuredly potent product and Mobius's plans to expand Mitosol's use beyond glaucoma surgery, keratectomy and pterygium.*Burger-mustard analogy courtesy of Ed TimmListen to the podcast today to discover:The Mobius strategy to expand into other indications and specialties.Timm's take on recent recalls of contaminated eye drops and what it means for development and manufacturing moving forward.Mobius's plans for growth over the next few years, including potential strategic partnerships.Timm's professional background, which took him from American Hospital Supply to building Synergetics (later sold to Bausch + Lomb) to Mobius Therapeutics.What Dr. Rothman sees as a recurring theme in ophthalmology and how it creates better leaders and investors.[Press Play]

Today's show is a really unique show in many ways. My guest Robert Grant, and I go into levels of water that have never been spoken about before in this podcast and maybe nowhere else. And it's a really fun conversation and you're going to see, hopefully the world from a new perspective and get some more insight from this very brilliant man and the way that he perceives the world and water. And a little bonus is relationships. This is a very high level human. Not only has he lived in nine different countries, Robert Grant's career and life have spanned a very broad spectrum of interests and educational disciplines. So professionally, he played a leading role in the global health care industry. Formerly the CEO of Bausch + Lomb and Allergan, and he covered diverse areas such as pharmaceutical, medical, device technology and as well as international health care systems. He's done TEDx talks, but what he's really known for now is his mathematics and geometry. Most recently, during the past decade, Robert has turned his attention and acumen toward number theory, mathematical physics, geometry, cryptography and blockchain cryptocurrencies. So he's a strong advocate of data sovereignty for the original producers of digital assets. So Robert and I talk water, we talk philosophical things, we talk relationships. He get real and we get deep. Please share this episode with somebody that you love.
