Selected recent papers include:

  • "Retina in a dish: Cell cultures, retinal explants and animal models for common diseases of the retina", 2020, Progress in Retinal and Eye Research
  • "Minocycline reduces inflammatory response and cell death in a S100B retina degeneration model", 2020, Journal of Neuroinflammation
  • "Age-dependent favorable visual recovery despite significant retinal atrophy in pediatric MOGAD: how much retina do you really need to see well?", 2021, Journal of Neuroinflammation
  • "Loss of the Extracellular Matrix Molecule Tenascin-C Leads to Absence of Reactive Gliosis and Promotes Anti-inflammatory Cytokine Expression in an Autoimmune Glaucoma Mouse Model", 2020, Frontiers in Immunology
  • "Microglia Activation in Retinal Ischemia Triggers Cytokine and Toll-Like Receptor Response", 2020, Journal of Molecular Neuroscience

The scope of Joachim's research demonstrates a focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying retinal and neurological conditions. They investigate neuroinflammatory pathways and the role of specific proteins and extracellular matrix components in retinal degeneration and glaucoma.

Joachim has contributed to advancing the understanding of retinal diseases through experimental models, including cell cultures and animal studies, exploring inflammatory responses, visual recovery patterns, and molecular markers in disease contexts.
