Our light-assisted gene therapy is highly targeted to geographic atrophies without perturbing the intact retina circuitry. Our team is highly experienced in Ophthalmology product development and clinical translation of innovative research. Our pipeline includes light based retinal regeneration therapy and light-based cortical prosthetics for vision restoration.
