Biography
Celia Sánchez-Ramos (Zaragoza 1959) is Doctor of Pharmacy in the area of Preventive Medicine since 1994., and a recognized expert in optics and optometry. She is Professor in Physiological Optics and Visual Perception at the Complutense University of Madrid. In 2010 she earned her second PhD in Vision Science for Europea University and in 2012 she has been invested "Doctor Honoris Causa" by the International University Menendez Pelayo by support for the translation of scientific knowledge Society.
She is Professor at the Complutense University of Madrid since 1986 lecturing in studies of Bachelor, Master (Research Methods;. Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection of Visual and PhD System (doctoral theses). In addition, since 2006 she directs training courses of University expert on to study different aspects of vision. She Promotes, plans and develops innovative educational projects nationally and internationally. She was Director of the Optometry and Vision Department from 2010-14.
She is founder of the Research Group of Neuro-Computation and Neuro-Robotics at the Complutense University of Madrid. Her research in animal studies, clinical trials and experiments in-vitro study neurodegeneration, prevention and protection of the visual system and the visual signal processing by the visual pathway. For 25 years, she conducts national research projects funded by institutional bodies (Ministries and Autonomous Communities) and private entities (companies and foundations as ONCE, MAPFRE, MM) and projects promoted by international organizations, among which the Iberoamerican Network Visual Health.
She is the inventor of 15 patent families, with ownership of the UCM, regarding retinal neuroprotection through elements and optical devices. Patents protect therapeutic lenses and filters for healthy eyes, pseudophakic and / or with neurodegeneración process in extension multiple countries. She has received more than 20 awards for her research and translation of knowledge including the "Best International Inventor" award by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) (2009), Gold Medal for Best Invention of the Health Area and in 2010 won the "Grand Prize for Best International Invention" by the United Nations. She has been nominated for the Prince of Asturias (2011) and the Jaime I Prize Innovation Award (2012).
She is a member of the Spanish Society of Optics and the Spanish Society of Ophthalmology. She is Vice-President of the Task Force for Medical Physics (GEFM) of the Royal Spanish Society of Physics. Internationally, she takes part of various committees in the Pan American Ophthalmology Society and the American and European Societies Research in Vision (ARVO and EVER). She is scientific advisor on issues related to the promotion of Visual Health for companies, institutions and associations affected. In 2015 she was appointed scientific advisor to the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). She evaluates and audits some public agencies and private entities, as well as reviews scientific publication. She is a consultant for Scientific Material from various private companies in their area of expertise and she is part of the Scientific Committee of various foundations.
She has authored and collaborated in publishing and editing books, chapters and scientific articles in their area of expertise. Since 1990 takes part in conferences, symposia, scientific meetings and lectures worldwide. Today she is actively involved in the task of disseminating scientific actions within the programs "Education for visual health" for her conviction of the need to involve individuals in the care of their own health.
In June 2006 she founded the spin-off of the Complutense University of Madrid Alta Eficacia Tecnología SL whose main purpose is the marketing of products, patents and utility models in the field of optometry, contact lens, biometrics and neurociencia.
In various forums it is considered the research team of Dr. Celia Sanchez Ramos leader in the use of the protection of research results through patents, utility models, design registration and copyright; considering intellectual property in research as an important asset for society. Since 2005 Intellectual Property Conference organized at the highest level achieved by uniting the efforts of the administrations, universities and research centers. She also actively involved in the Platform for Researchers UCM.
She also has a deep social commitment that took her to address various development cooperation projects to train teachers in her area of expertise(Paraguay, Ecuador, Mozambique).
Photoprotection
Since 1980 it is known that the violet and blue light in the visible spectrum is related to the pathogenesis of macular degeneration (AMD). Removal by blocking a percentage of violet and blue light decreases cell death by apoptosis in vitro cells, in experimental animals prevents photothermal, photomechanical and photochemical damage. In human trials it shows less thickness of the retina in photoprotected eyes .
Ocular Biometric authentication
The different structures of the human body are being used for authentication of people. In the eye the retina is used as a differentiator including the proyection of the fixation point. The corneal structure due to its characteristics and in particular its transparency allows differentiation by corneal topography of the anterior and posterior surface of the structure.
Visual ergonomics
Knowledge of visual function from childhood to old age allows us to study and develop elements and devices to improve performance in school, professional and performing tasks that require close attention.
Current activities (2016)
As reported in many interviews, the activity of Celia Sánchez-Ramos is currently focused on four areas: teaching, research, innovation and social responsibility.
Since 2005, she has organized Intellectual Property Workshops of the highest level; events that have united the efforts of public authorities, businesses, universities and research centres.
Dr. Sánchez-Ramos also shows her solidarity with social issues, having undertaken several projects with development in mind. “We cannot continue to ignore it. In Paraguay, there are 70,000 blinded by cataracts. In Europe, blindness caused by cataracts is now practically unknown,” she has publicly said.
