WHAT'S NEXT?: Technology to restore vision through the use of a component of green algae — developed by a Wayne State University professor and scientific director of the Ligon Research Center of Vision at the Kresge Eye Institute — has attracted additional funding for therapy development. The Foundation Fighting Blindness announced a $250,000 grant from its affiliate, National Neurovision Research Institute, to RetroSense Therapeutics LLC, a Michigan-based company. RetroSense signed a license agreement in 2011 for the novel gene-therapy approaches developed at Wayne State University by Zhuo-Hua Pan, professor of ophthalmology and anatomy and cell biology in the School of Medicine.
