With our study on robot-assisted subretinal injection officially out at: https://lnkd.in/e-zmTsDY I would like to take the opportunity to thank our clinicians Ivo De Clerck and Peter Stalmans and the entire opthalmology department of UZ Leuven for their excellent skills and support throughout the trial and help in getting the ethical and FAHMP approval through. Many thanks as well to Dominik Beck, Frank Oelgarth, James Burckhardt and D.O.R.C for their great support and interest throughout the entire project ! We have been super fortunate to have in Europe such a great company pushing for advancements in eye surgery ultimately interested in better patient care ! And last and not least ! Many thanks for everyone who directly or indirectly contributed (without the risk of forgetting) Mouloud OURAK, Maarten Schoovaerts, Martina Polidoro, Jef De Smet, Maria Teresa Francomano, Wim Eeraerts, Gianni Borghesan, Kyun Thibaut & the COVARTIM team. Also thanks to Dominiek Reynaerts, Jonas Smits, Andy Gijbels, PhD who helped massively paving the way ! Looking very much forward to continue this line of work !! Manu,
