Happy to share our latest bioinformatic work on DR out at @ARVOiovs. We for the first time identified severity-associated genes, and profiled both immune cells and retinal cells in relation to DR.

Media coverage is hot today on the topic of the potential legalisation of mitochondrial donation. As expected, some media will sensationalise the topic but @sunriseon7 Sunrise where Dr. Ginni Mansberg did a fantastic job of explaining the reality.

This is sooooooo funnnn

Almost 90% of vision impairment occurs in low- and middle-income countries. Here's how CERA's research can help make a difference. #WorldSightDay #VisionFirst @IAPB1
