Collaborations
As well as many local collaborations within the Institute, Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London we have many collaborations throughout the UK and in Europe, USA and Australia.
We have very strong links with the gene therapy programme at The Institute of Child Health directed by Professor Adrian Thrasher, Molecular Immunology Unit. We also collaborate extensively on gene therapy for retinal degenerations with Professor Tiansen Li of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School.
