Song of the Week: Cream - Badge

Supergroup. Ah yes, a bunch of big stars get together only to find they don't like each other. Except in Cream's case they already knew they didn't like each other, at least in the case of Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

Cream didn't last long, but they recorded some good stuff including this late song written by Eric Clapton and Beatle George Harrison (with Ringo Star adding the vital line about swans). One for guitarists.

A modeling perspective on retinal degeneration

Naoufel Cresson
(Sorbonne Université)
Abstract

This talk introduces an ongoing research project focused on building mechanistic models to study retinal degeneration, with a particular emphasis on the geometric aspects of the disease progression.

As we develop a computational model for retinal degeneration, we will explore how cellular materials behave and how wound-healing mechanisms influence disease progression. Finally, we’ll detail the numerical methods used to simulate these processes and explain how we work with medical data.

Ongoing research in collaboration with the group of M. Paques (Paris Eye Imaging - Quinze Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital and Vision Institute).
