A privilege to share our translational research program @UCLeye with the Duchess of Edinburgh. Our research funded by @fightforsightUK @UKRI_News @EyeCharity @SightResearchUK @MoorfieldsBRC seeks to deliver new genetic diagnostics and therapies for inherited corneal disease.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh visited @UCL today to learn about cutting-edge genetics research funded by @fightforsightUK at @UCLeye, led by Prof @aliceedavidson, into disabling eye diseases affecting the cornea @RoyalFamily

This study represents a labour of love by me @ChristinaZarou It would never have been possible without all the support we received from @ukri @EyeCharity @SightResearchUK @MoorfieldsBRC @UCLBrainScience and of most importantly the patients @Moorfields!
Researchers @UCLeye have revealed tissue-specific somatic instability underlies a common age-related cause of visual loss. Translationally relevant findings for repeat-expansion mediated diseases #OpticalGenomeMapping #RepeatExpansions Read #openaccess👇 https://t.co/lqd80phKfb
