Grant Activity:
Novel therapies for slowing vision loss caused by retinal degeneration
Purpose:
Death of the light sensitive cells of the eye, the photoreceptors, is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in Australia. Our data indicate accumulation of intracellular waste within photoreceptors is a critical driver of their death. The aims of this project are to define the molecular pathways causing waste accumulation and find treatments that enhance waste recycling in photoreceptors to slow the devastating progression of vision loss.
