Grant Activity:
Targeting a novel pathogenic glia-neuronal pathway in retinal diseases
Purpose:
The project propose that loss of Interphotoreceptor Retinoid-Binding Protein (IRBP) is a novel cause of retinal diseases. The project will investigate how IRBP dysregulation happened in one diseased rodent model as well as its contribution to diseases progression. The project will also evaluate the clinical potentials of lentivirus-mediated gene therapy to replenish IRBP. Success in this project will identify new leads to treat retinal diseases.
