him to obtain a doctorate in Pharmacology at the
Université René Descartes-Paris

knowledge of ophthalmology and pharmacology allowed
him to join l'Unité INSERM U-592 (Laboratoire
de Physiopathologie Cellulaire et Moléculaire
de la rétine, Institut de la Vision, Paris,
France ; équipe 5 : explorations fonctionnelles
de la rétine), where he is both a veterinary
ophthalmologist and senior investigator. His skills

laboratories in France and Europe. Doctor Rosolen

Society for Ocular Toxicology. Finally, doctor
Rosolen has recently been named member of the
