CERA

Vision Expo 2023 – Stand 12

Retinal gene therapy

About our research

CERA is leading research into gene therapies that could slow down, or even halt, vision loss in patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

What you’ll see

  • Watch a video about how gene therapy works.
  • Learn more about the subgroups of inherited retinal diseases and their prevalence in Australia, as well as the phenotypic profile of Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy in Australian patients.

Talk to us about

  • What is the aim of gene therapy?
  • What are the emerging gene therapies?
  • How can we find people with these rare IRDs?
  • Is there currently a gene therapy for Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy?
