biography
Ygal Rotenstreich, MD is the Director of the Electrophysiology Unit at Tel Hashomer Medical Center, Israel and the Director of the Retinal Research Laboratory at the Goldschleger Eye Research Institute, Tel Aviv University, Israel. He received his M.D. from Tel Aviv University on 1992, and completed his Ophthalmologist licensing in 1999. He completed a fellowship in hereditary retinal diseases in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. His research focuses on development of novel treatments and diagnostic tools for incurable retinal and macular degeneration. He is leading clinical trials, basic science and translational medicine studies aimed at development of novel treatments and diagnostic tools for these blinding diseases. Last year he received the Stein Award for Excellent Researcher in Ophthalmology. This year he received the SPIE 2015, USA - Translational Research Paper Award.
