Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA)’s Post

CERA researchers have successfully used an innovative gene therapy technique that could one day replace the need for regular eye injections for conditions including ‘wet’ age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Their technique edits a person's RNA, which changes the genetic instructions that influence the way cells behave without permanently altering DNA. "We envision that RNA editing could become a viable alternative to invasive and costly eye injections that have become a fact of life for many people," says Head of Genetic Engineering Research Associate Professor Guei-Sheung (Rick) Liu.
