A/Prof @rickgsliu aims to end the need for regular eye injections for AMD & diabetic eye disease by developing treatments targeting a person’s RNA.
What is RNA? Why is targeting it better than DNA?
CERA's A/Prof Liu & Dr @FloraHui explain: https://t.co/tGV0A4oIK1 @ConversationEDU
Are you aware of the advances in gene technology being used in healthcare?
If you are 18+ Australian: Please take our anonymous 10-minute survey to help us understand public awareness of the new gene technologies being employed in healthcare.

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.

Preprint alert 🚨:
#AAV vectors are one of the leading platforms for gene delivery for the treatment of human genetic diseases. Despite some clinical successes, AAV-based gene therapy still faces several challenges. https://t.co/CCViMYQIgQ
How can we use RNA targeting tools for ocular gene therapeutics? Our new review and my first collaboration at CERA @EyeResearchAus after finishing my DPhil. Looking forward to some great eye research here in Aus! https://t.co/trMmoLrLbq
Happy to share our pre-print work on MedRxiv. We defined the genes associated with age and AMD severity and cellular landscape of the aging retina in AMD patients with the EyeGEx database. w/@rickgsliu@cool_stem_cell@EyeResearchAus https://t.co/Ut4RgsLy38
