Hauswirth, Ph.D., yon pwofesè nan oftalmik jenetik molekilè nan kolèj la uf nan Medikaman ak yon manm nan uf jenetik Enstiti a ak Powell Gene Terapi Center a. “Malgre avèg koulè se sèlman modera lavi-fas, Nou te montre nou kapab geri yon maladi kòn nan yon Primates, e ke li kapab fè anpil san danje.

“We’ve added red sensitivity to cone cells in animals that are born with a condition that is exactly like human color blindness,” said William W. Hauswirth, Ph.D., a professor of ophthalmic molecular genetics at the UF College of Medicine and a member of the UF Genetics Institute and the Powell Gene Therapy Center. “Although color blindness is only moderately life-altering, we’ve shown we can cure a cone disease in a primate, and that it can be done very safely. That’s extremely encouraging for the development of therapies for human cone diseases that really are blinding.”
