UPCOMING Webinars

Gene Agnostic Therapies
Thursday, September 22, 2022
3 pm – 4:15 pm ET

Over the past few years we have talked a lot about the promise of gene therapy – treatments designed for a specific gene, like Luxturna for RPE56. There is growing interest now in therapies that are not designed for a specific gene – but instead may be able to treat many mutations causing at disease. These potential treatments are called gene agnostic therapies.

In this webinar, join us for a conversation with Dr. Daniel Chung, chief medical officer at SparingVision, which is developing a gene-agnostic therapy to preserve cone vision in people with retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, and related conditions.

There will be time for questions. If you have questions in advance or need assistance with registration, email us at education@fightingblindness.ca
