About

➡️ After becoming an ophthalmologist in Germany, I felt it was time to help people improve their vision from a new perspective. While continuing my work as a clinician, I transitioned to the industry over the past two years, working as a Medical Advisor and Director for Clinical Affairs with the goal of helping millions of patients worldwide suffering from dry AMD and its resulting vision loss. During this fascinating chapter, I had the privilege of collaborating with leading retina experts from all around the globe. Now, I continue my work as an ophthalmologist, actively engaging in clinical research and AI technology while maintaining strong connections with key stakeholders in the field. My ongoing enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity continually drive me to explore new solutions and technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. 🗣 Fluent in English, German and Spanish. 📍 Berlin, Germany 🔵 Founder of Retinmind #dryAMD #retina #AI #medtech
