Administrative Campus

Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland

The Administrative Campus at Mittlere Strasse 91 serves as the legal and official correspondence hub for IOB, closely affiliated with the Department of Ophthalmology at University Hospital Basel. While primarily administrative, it supports clinical research oversight and educational programs in clinical ophthalmology, providing a bridge between research at Klybeck and patient care.

  • Clinical Ophthalmology: Core courses on diagnostic techniques, surgical interventions, and management of common eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
  • Ocular Pathology and Diagnostics: Training in histopathological analysis of eye tissues, multimodal imaging interpretation, and biomarker discovery for early disease detection.
  • Patient-Oriented Research: Modules on clinical trial ethics, epidemiology of eye diseases, and outcome measures in ophthalmology studies.

This site facilitates MD-PhD training with direct access to clinical cases, emphasizing evidence-based practice and translational clinical research in a hospital setting.

Klybeck Campus

Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland

The Klybeck Campus, the primary research facility of the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), specializes in translational research that integrates molecular biology with clinical ophthalmology to develop innovative therapies for vision loss. Located in the vibrant Campus Klybeck innovation hub, it houses state-of-the-art laboratories where basic scientists and clinicians collaborate on cutting-edge projects targeting major eye diseases such as retinal degeneration, glaucoma, and corneal disorders.

  • Ophthalmic Genetics and Genomics: Advanced training in genetic diagnostics, CRISPR-based gene editing, and genomic sequencing applied to inherited retinal diseases, including hands-on courses in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis for variant interpretation.
  • Retinal Neurobiology and Disease Mechanisms: Programs exploring neuronal signaling in the retina, animal models of neurodegeneration, and cellular imaging techniques, with modules on electrophysiology, optogenetics, and organoid cultures derived from human stem cells.
  • Translational Immunology and Infection Biology: Courses on immune responses in the eye, antiviral therapies, and microbiome influences on ocular health, featuring immunological assays, animal infection models, and clinical trial design.
  • Gene and Cell Therapy: Specialized workshops on viral vector design, AAV gene delivery, stem cell differentiation into retinal cells, and preclinical safety testing for ophthalmic applications.
  • Clinical Ophthalmology and Imaging: Training in advanced retinal imaging (OCT, adaptive optics), electroretinography, and patient-oriented research methodologies, bridging lab discoveries to clinical trials.

This campus supports PhD and MD-PhD programs affiliated with the University of Basel, fostering interdisciplinary education in vision science with access to the University Hospital Basel for clinical training.
