CA-VELODYNE-LIDAR
Dr. Mircea Gradu, Sr. Vice President Quality and Validation at Velodyne Lidar, Inc. , will be featured on two panels at the upcoming GITEX Technology Week in Dubai on October 7 and 8. Gradu, a distinguished engineer, is an officer and the 2018 President of SAE International . He will review how lidar sensors deliver outstanding perception performance in three dimensions, allowing vehicles to detect and avoid objects in a range of environmental conditions and roadway settings. Furthermore, he will discuss the critical success factors in testing and validation that lidar sensors must achieve to support autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The first panel, “Teaching Vehicles to Think, Drive and Talk ,” occurs on October 7, from 2:40 to 3:10 p.m., at the Vertical Stage 1, Za’abeel Hall 4. Gradu will provide information about how advanced sensor technologies generate massive amounts of data. The future AV will generate two petabits – about the same as two million gigabits of data.
The second panel, “Driverless Vehicles will be Safe, Ready and Common on the Road by 2030 ,” occurs on October 8, from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. at the Future Mobility Conference, Sheikh Maktoum Hall. Gradu will discuss how lidar sensors are an essential component for fully autonomous vehicles and can significantly enhance ADAS capabilities.

Dompé Doses First Patients in Europe and US in Phase 3 Studyof Isocyclosporin for Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis16.12.2025 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Atopic keratoconjunctivitis(AKC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the eye that is frequently associated with atopic conditions, and limited disease awareness often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis. Isocyclosporin is a novel, dual inhibitor oftwo critical immunepathways in ocular inflammation like AKC. Dompé, a leading biopharmaceutical company with operations in Italy and the U.S., announced the first patients have been enrolled in a Phase 3 study of Isocyclosporin for the treatment of atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC). Isocyclosporin is a dual inhibitor of transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel, mucolipin subfamily, member 2 (TRPML2) and calcineurin, key regulators of immune and inflammatory response in chronic inflammatory eye diseases. The Phase 3 trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked study comparing isocyclosporin against vehicle control in improving ocular signs and symptoms after six weeks of treatment. “This milestone underscores Dompé’s commitment
