This is the 3rd video of the Kids Advanced Therapeutics webinar series, by Kids Research, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network.

In this webinar, we focus on Ocular Gene Therapy, the first in vivo gene therapy approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) here in Australia for clinical use in inherited retinal diseases. Inherited retinal diseases are a group of conditions that disproportionately affect children and young adults and lead to blindness. Excitingly, there are now new genetic therapies and advances in retinal stem cell biology towards cellular therapies for even the most severe forms of retinal degeneration.

Hosted by Professor Ian Alexander, Head of the Gene Therapy Research Unit at Kids Research (a joint initiative with the Children's Medical Research Institute) - this webinar features experts in the fields of genetic retinal diseases and stem cell biology, Prof Robyn Jamieson and Dr Anai Gonzalez Cordero, along with Q&A panelists Professor Craig Munns and Dr Laura Fawcett.
