| 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar Next-Gen Strategies for Vision: Decoding, Targeting, and Regenerating the Retina School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Retinal degenerative diseases including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are major global causes of vision loss. Current therapies, such as anti-VEGF treatments, face limitations due to biological complexity, treatment resistance, and delivery challenges. Our research integrates systems biology, molecular engineering, and gene therapy to address these gaps. We identify key molecular hubs and pathways, develop next-generation anti-angiogenic agents (hinge-truncated sFLT01), and design novel peptide-based gene delivery system (MiRGD) that enhances targeting a ... |
