Grant Activity:
Sensing the light: using cell reprogramming to regenerate photoreceptors
Purpose:
Photoreceptors are the light-sensing cells in the retina, and their loss in many diseases leads to incurable blindness. We will use single cell transcriptomics to understand photoreceptor degeneration, use cell reprogramming to make photoreceptors in the lab – for transplantation and cell biology studies – and to regenerate photoreceptors in animal studies. This will provide insights into the mechanism underlying photoreceptor degeneration and develop regenerative therapy to restore vision.
