This is a friendly informal event where you (and your family, friends and/or carers) will have the opportunity to hear about research taking place at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, ask the researcher questions, and provide input that could shape the future of eye care research.
Details of our next coffee hour event are as follows:
Date: Thursday 20 November 2025
Time: 3 -4pm
Location: Coffee Junction, 42 Provost Street, London N1 7SU, (a 5-minute walk from Moorfields Eye Hospital)
Presenting at our next hour will be Dr Paul Nderitu. Paul is an ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital and a postdoctoral clinical researcher at University College London. His research focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) for the detection or prediction of diabetic eye disease. Paul will give an overview of his research, developing AI for early prediction of sight-threatening diabetic eye disease, and its application to diabetic eye screening. He will also discuss future directions, including a study developing a powerful and versatile AI system called a foundation model for global use and other exciting work taking place in this area.
