You're Invited to a Research Update on Gyrate Atrophy!
Greetings to the gyrate atrophy community around the world!
When we heard about the development of Luxturna, the first approved gene therapy for a retinal disease, we asked what disease would be next? That question led us to start Conquering Gyrate Atrophy with the hope of raising funds to support research on GA. With almost no current research activity, we wanted to spark interest in the leading researchers to put their attention to GA. We were especially interested in the person behind the development of Luxturna - Dr. Jean Bennett.
And guess what?! Sometimes when you have a vision, it comes to be. Thanks to your generous support and donations, we have been able to support Drs. Jean Bennett and Katherine Uyhazi to conduct research on gyrate atrophy.
Although the research is still in the early stages, we wanted you to have a chance to hear from them directly and to ask questions. So please join us for a research update with Dr. Jean Bennett, Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Katherine Uyhazi, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Pennsylvania.
