Inherited retinal dystrophies affect 1 in 2,000 people and are a leading cause of blindness. Our team of 10 PhD students is researching autosomal dominant IRDs, aiming to improve diagnosis and develop gene therapies to offer hope to affected families. Stay tuned for updates!

Wishing you happy holidays and a healthy and prosperous New Year! We are grateful for your collaboration and appreciate your commitment and dedication to our project. Here's to a bright and prosperous New Year, filled with exciting opportunities and continued achievements!

International organizations have a huge impact on IRD research. We are proud to collaborate with Retina International and Fighting Blindness . Other global communities are also advancing IRD research: Fight for Sight , Macular Society , BrightFocus Foundation . Together, we fight against IRD!

Autosomal dominant IRD accounts for 25-40% of cases, posing challenges due to variable phenotypes, milder forms, and later onset. Mutations are categorized as gain-of-function, dominant-negative, or haploinsufficiency. Stay tuned as we explore these mechanisms further!
