How could gene therapy reduce the need for eye injections?

Next generation gene therapies have the potential to transform the treatment of eye diseases, paving the way for simpler, longer lasting and more effective treatments.

The Centre for Eye Research Australia's Genetic Engineering Unit is investigating new gene therapies for eye diseases that can alleviate the need for frequent injections.

CERA is an independent medical research institute, proudly affiliated with the University of Melbourne. We are based at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne.

We are deeply committed to conducting eye research with real-life impact and finding ways to prevent people from going blind.

With the support of our many partners, funders and philanthropic supporters, we can continue this world-leading research and accomplish scientific breakthroughs previously deemed unachievable.

Our aim is to offer hope to people affected by vision loss and protect the sight of everyone in need.

With CERA, there’s hope in sight.
