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)

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/…
