[Cite as https://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/1195713]Brief description Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are the leading cause of blindness in working-aged adults. My work focuses on learning more about IRDs, including the correlation between genes and the degenerative changes in the eye. I am developing new outcome measures to predict who might lose vision faster, and to use in clinical trials. I will then use this knowledge in two clinical trials for new IRD treatments - a gene therapy and an electronic device that is implanted into the eye.
