What an incredible week at #RD2023, connecting with scientists across the world, hearing the latest discoveries and therapies for retinal degeneration, and discussing my work with others! Thank you Foundation Fighting Blindness for the Travel Award! Already looking forward to RD2025!

I am especially pleased that the first #CRISPR therapy helps patients with sickle cell disease, a disease that has long been neglected by the medical establishment. This is a win for medicine and for health equity. (2/3)

We have just published our review on using iPSC to model RPE diseases The Biochemist, make sure to read it! Loved working on this with the rest of the Carr Lab Dr Amanda-Jayne Carr lab, great job everyone! doi.org/10.1042/bio_20…

Couldn't be more proud of the team!! 💛 Still can't believe how lucky we've been to have 2 papers in Cell and for the VR Landscapes from my PhD to be the cover⛰️🤯 github.com/FerranC96/VRla…

Today I have thoroughly enjoyed talking about and making music from RPE #newscienceskills Thank you to NIHR Moorfields BRC and Friends of Moorfields for inviting us to their Rare Disease Day at NIHR Moorfields BRC and to Ana Alcafe and 🌸Z🌸 for helping out

First day in Seattle with Ana Alcafe attempting to overcome jet lag by trekking the slopes of Mount Ranier. Finding the beauty of apricity #Paradise #ARVO2024

Enjoying my second day at #ARVO2024! Inspired by the Proctor and Friedenwald awardee talks, and catching up with other genome editing researchers at their posters!!

Thank you NIHR Moorfields BRC for awarding me the ARVO2024 Travel Grant! It was a pleasure and a privilege to catch up with Andrew Dick and Sir Peng Khaw. Looking forward to presenting my research tomorrow at 11.30am! #ARVO2024

Another exciting day at #ARVO2024, meeting new people and reconnecting with peers! Also got the opportunity to attend to my first WEAVR lunch, with an inspiring talk about how creativity can drive us forward by Emily Chee. Thank you NIHR Moorfields BRC for the kind invitation!

Today is the day!!! Ready to tell everyone about our successful genome editing studies in Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration at #ARVO2024 ARVO ! This will be my first talk at an international conference 🙈 I am very happy and excited to share our results with everyone!

Thank you MEC for funding my project and this highlight of our work!!

Interested in finding out what it's like to attend your first ARVO meeting? Our student 🌸Z🌸 has written a wonderful review of her experience for UCL Institute of Ophthalmology news. Thanks to ARVO for her travel award and Moorfields Eye Charity for funding her project. ucl.ac.uk/ioo/news/2024/…
