More on The Californer
Glaucoma is the second largest eye disease that leads to blindness in advanced stages. About 3 million individuals in USA and 80 million individuals worldwide are affected and the number expected to rise to 111 million globally by 2040. The main mechanism for glaucoma-induced blindness is the irreversible death of RGCs. Human eye has ~1.2 to 1.5 million RGCs which will never regenerate after glaucoma-related cell death. Drugs available in market target the IOP reduction and slow down the RGC death. Hopes for better treatment of glaucoma patients reside in protecting RGCs and lowering IOP simultaneously.
Avirmax Biopharma Inc. (ABI) is a subsidiary of Avirmax Inc., a San Francisco Bay Area based company working on genetic medicine. Avirmax Inc. specializes in developing rAAV mediated therapeutics for ocular diseases using its proprietary protein and rAAV engineering technologies. Visit us at avirmaxBP.com for more information.
