LUMC strongly underpins the idea that ‘Science is the driving force behind innovative healthcare’. Outcomes of top level fundamental, translational and clinical research by LUMC researchers form a strong basis for innovative and qualitative healthcare on a national, European and international level. A real game changer was the development of the Dutch national research agenda (NWA) in 2015. The agenda reveals the complexity of the issues challenging Dutch society today. These issues are clustered in so called routes. LUMC is involved in many of these routes and contributes this way to solving important societal challenges.
Recornea is a clinical stage medtech ophthalmic company developing therapeutic solutions for treating diseases of the cornea. The company is based in Italy. Up to 2023, the company has been focused on the pre-clinical activities related to the development of minimally invasive GROSSO® Implant, the first-ever nitinol corneal implant to restore the physiological curvature of the cornea with clear and predictable clinical outcomes in patients with keratoconus, a progressive eye disease causing distorted vision.
