Work by Caitlin Collin & Qin Liu highlighted at ARVO 2021 meeting
June 3, 2021

Caitlin CollinQin Liu At the virtual 2021 meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), Caitlin Collin, PhD, from Mass Eye and Ear (MEE), presented a promising CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing approach for treating people with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) caused by mutations in the gene RP1. The project... Read More


Ground-breaking study to restore vision uses CRISPR technology
May 24, 2021

Eric Pierce MD PhDJason Comander MD PhD Mass Eye and Ear is co-leading a new, revolutionary clinical trial that uses CRISPR gene editing to correct a genetic mutation that leads to a form of blindness caused by Leber congenital amaurosis, an inherited retinal disorder. Clinical trial participant Michael Kalberer is the second person in the... Read More

Improving the throughput of diagnosis and treatment of inherited diseases of the retina
October 7, 2020

Dr. Jason Comander was recently awarded a 5 year grant to support his work focused on efficiently identifying the genetic cause of inherited retinal degenerations.(IRDs), an important cause of vision loss. By using cell-based assays to determine the functional significance of a large panel of DNA variants, the goal is to increase the... Read More
