Grant Activity:
Eyes and Ears: a human retinal and inner ear organoid platform for pre-clinical screening of novel therapeutics for Usher Syndrome
Purpose:
Usher syndrome (USH) is a cruel and incurable disease that robs patients of both sight and hearing. In this project, we bring together experts in eye and ear clinical care and research to develop new treatments for USH. Our clinicians will prepare our USH patients for inclusion in upcoming clinical trials. In parallel, our scientists will grow retinal and inner ear tissues from patient stem cells in the lab, and use them to evaluate the promising new USH treatments being developed by our team.
