Grant Activity:
A vision to prevent vision loss: RNA base editing as a strategy to treat inherited retinal diseases
Purpose:
Inherited eye diseases are significant contributors to global blindness and there is no cure to date. Traditional gene therapy only caters to limited forms of the disease, and blindness is unpreventable for most affected patients. Demand for alternative approaches remains. Modern RNA gene editing technology allows precise correction of the underlying genetic mutations for safer and more efficient gene therapies. This unprecedented approach would revolutionise current gene therapy approaches.
