Description:

Nanoscope Therapeutics is advancing gene therapy using light-sensitive molecules and light-assisted gene delivery for giving sight to the millions of blind individuals suffering from retinal degenerative disease, for which no cure exists. They utilize ambient light-sensitive molecules to re-sensitize the retina toward a low light level. Its light-assisted gene therapy is highly targeted to geographic atrophies without perturbing the intact retina circuitry.
