Writing for @OphthoMag, @pearsekeane explores the current state of AI, reflecting on historic tech breakthroughs.
Pearse shares his perspective as artificial medical intelligence prof @UCLeye, consultant ophthalmologist @Moorfields and INSIGHT director.

I think this could be one of the most impactful studies that I’ve been involved with in my career to date 👇👇👇
(Proud to have played a small role!)
New study finds that a widely available oral supplement can slow progression of Geographic Atrophy by up to 55% over 3 years. #AMD
Led by @TiarnanKeenan and team @NIH @NatEyeInstitute with co-author @pearsekeane of @UCLeye @Moorfields @INSIGHTeyehub

Extreme exercise and longevity: detrimental or beneficial?

In a retrospective study of the 1st 200 athletes to run < 4 minute miles, there was evidence of several (~5) years longer lifespan compared with the general population. Still an unsettled question, but certainly supports lack of harm

#ARVO is the largest worldwide gathering of specialists in #ophthalmology. IOR Tübingen has more than 30 presentations. This confirms our worldwide position as one of the most important research institutes in ophthalmology 💪👁️

#RETFound The first-in-the-world AI foundation model for ophthalmology.
Really excited about all the opportunities that will arise from this. Always keep an eye on @pearsekeane and team, the best is yet to come 👍

It’s almost hard to comprehend the impact this will have…. for all of humanity…
A year ago we open-sourced #AlphaFold
Today we're freely sharing the predicted structures of all 200M+ proteins known to science - almost the entire protein universe!
It's our gift to humanity, and a demonstration of the benefits AI can bring to society

To residents starting today:
Enjoy! I began #ophthalmology residency 25 years ago (7/1/1997) & never imagined it would be so amazing.

AI that will analyse up to 6.3million eye scans could help improve the diagnosis of #dementia and detect a range of other diseases. A specialised software will process the images to identify patterns of change in the retina associated with dementia. bit.ly/381KW26

Ein metastasierendes #Prostatakarzinom ist bisher nicht heilbar. Ein Forschungsteam der #KKE Translationale #Immunologie hat daher einen bispezifischen #Antikörper entwickelt. Nach den erfolgreichen Ergebnissen der Phase-I-Studie beginnt nun die Phase-II: bit.ly/3Fcrw5e

Congratulations @NicSch16
More non-canonical #complementbiology functions in #AMD this time for FHR3
The best way to start a new work week: realizing that Nicole's @NicSch16 years of enthusiastic research are finally published. Find out how FHR-3 modulates RPE cells without other systemic complement factors. frontiersin.org/article/10.3…

Great work led by Angela and Aparna - Loss of CFH transcription in RPE cells causes retinal degeneration in retinal explant model. Well done everyone!

How refreshing it is to see 2 leading genomics experts publish this important commentary. To understand the uniqueness of each person, we need to know well beyond their DNA data. By @markmccarthyoxf and @ewanbirney 🙏

Island: 80% der Bevölkerung geimpft, >99% der 70+ Personen geimpft. Trotzdem klingt dort gerade die bisher größte Welle ab (Delta). Diesmal aber: Kein einziger Covid19 Toter. Ein Beispiel von vielen das zeigt, welchen Unterschied die Impfung bei der Sterblichkeit macht.

"Im Herbst wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit sich zu infizieren wohl so hoch liegen wie noch nie zuvor in dieser Pandemie. Genau deswegen sollte man sich jetzt zügig um einen Impftermin bemühen. Die Betonung liegt auf jetzt."
