1 Corinne GONZALEZ Ophthalmology (MD, Ph.D ) Retinal Medical Specialist SELARL CABINET DOCTEUR GONZALEZ 27, Boulevard des Minimes Toulouse! cabinet.dr.gonzalez@wanadoo.fr Fax : PRESENT PROFESSIONAL POSITION OPHTALMOLOGIST DOCTOR, Private practice Retinal medical Specialist, AMD in particular Installation year : 1988 TRAINING ( ) : General Medical Practice and SPECIALITY 1977 : Human Biology Grade 1987 Medical Doctor Degree THESIS : Macular sub-retinal neovascularisation and its treatment with Krypton laser. General review, computer clinical and angiographical study. Treatment results for the 85 studied cases. CES of OPHTHALMOLOGY, Ophthalmology Medical Specialist Degree PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Since /01/2014 Private practice Ophthalmology, Retinal Medical Specialty and AMD, private office Marked by a dot and underlined, underneath are the medical exams,which I have been the first to introduce in the Region Midi Pyrénées Angiographies : - FA (Fluorescein Angiography), since ICG (Infracyanin Green Angiography), since SPECTRALIS and SPECTRALIS OCT Angiography, since 2007 Until now I have been the only physician in the Midi Pyrénées Region to have a common practice of Spectralis system FA and ICG, retinal and optic nerve Spectral domain OCT. Laser : all types, including multi waves,since 1988 OCT 3 (Optic Confocal Tomography), since 1995 Photodynamic Therapy, since 2000 IVT (Intra-Vitreal Injection),1 er surgical unit in Private office in Midi-Pyrénées, since 2005 (only 10 surgical units like this in France) HIV ophthalmologic Pathology 1

2 Contactology RESEARCH BACKGROUND Fundamental Research Professeur Soleihavoup Laboratory ( Histo-Cytology department, Purpan CHU Toulouse) Antikératin antibody profiling of retinal pigment epithelium. publication about this work : n 20 reference below Based on the results obtained during this period, I submitted many working hypothesis about ARMD etiopathogenesis, with the specific retinal pigment epithelium role and in particular mitochondrial pigment epithelium dysfunction. Those hypothesis were based on regular scientific literature revue and clinical studies published in an international way by well known teams. At this time, I have established links with other researchers in the course of many meetings. Interest for a coordinated research These contacts referred to above have for a few of them become permanent and I am looking for teams able to cooperate together in order to demonstrate and confirm those hypothesis. I would like to federate several research teams to make them more dynamic and productive. The basic idea is to get them together, taking advantage of their specific competences, cross fertilize between the groups with a common goal which is to better understand AMD pathogenesis and more over retinal pathologies. In this respect, it is a common feature of the pharma industry that research is terribly expensive and that a lot of duplication is going on, at a tremendous cost. I believe that, as it is presently done for ALZHEIMER s disease, where a number of pharma companies are beginning to work on a common project, the same kind of research could be developed for AMD, because it is simply not true that fundamental research is competitive in the economic sense of the word. In particular, findings of toxicity in the research programs should be shared between the companies, which would improve the speed at which innovation can be brought into the sector. This could also be a very interesting topic for a joint funding between the industry and the EU Research and Development Framework Programme. Clinical Research Absolutely aware of the scientific progress importance in medical practice, and always seeking for innovation, I ve been precursor : - In the retinal pathologies investigative techniques use (cf ref n 8,26,28,30,33) - In the therapeutic principles use : PED treatment (cf ref n 15), «Baxter» principle use development for CMV retinitis treatment, of Thalidomide, for SIDA patients (cf ref n 22,27) - In new treatments development : no steroid anti-inflammatory treatments in general and/or subconjunctival administration to treat exudative reactions and complications of ADM, Diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion (cf ref n 1, 2,3) - In new therapeutic protocol suggestions : retrofoveolar neovascular AMD complication treated with series of 3 IVT (cf ref n 9,10,11,12,4,5,6). Others international medical teams have confirmed this 2

3 protocol, with similar results, much better and promising than those of other standard studies. (cf ARVO 2010 meeting abstracts and conferences) - In having initiative in protocol and therapies : in contrast with usual practice, I recommend not to give Triamcinolone by IVT for the treatment of exudative reaction complicating AMD, Diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion ( now quite dropped method ) - In my medical practice of Ophthalmology : private practice, no in clinic and/or hospital, with surgical unit in the office SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL WORKS (published and /or presented in meetings) Internationals 1 - Diclofenac with photodynamic therapy for choroidal neovascularisation complicating AMD C Gonzales, ARVO 2005 and Mickaelson Meeting Subconjonctival injection of triamcinolone and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for exsudative choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) complicating age macular degeneration (AMD) C Gonzalez, ARVO 2006 et Euretina Subconjonctival injection of triamcinolone for the treatment of macular oedema complicating diabetic retinopathy C Gonzalez, ARVO Intravitreal pegaptanib for retrofoveolar neovascular myopia maculopathy C Gonzalez, ARVO Intravitreal pegaptanib for retrofoveolar neovascularisation complicating age macular degeneration (AMD), with predominant pigment epithelium(pe) atrophic areas C Gonzalez, Euretina Analysis of intravitreal ranibizumab injections effects on exudative reaction complicating subfoveal choroidal neovascular age related macular degeneration (AMD) C Gonzalez, EVER No functional vision improvement after intravitreal ranibizumab injections (IVT) for retrofoveolar choroidal neovascular age related macular degeneration (AMD),why?
