Meet One of the CRF’s New & Exciting Researchers - Dr. Mariya Moosajee
Dr. Mariya Moosajee is a Consultant Ophthalmologist in Genetic Eye Disease at Moorfields Eye Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and a Wellcome Trust Beit Prize Fellow at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology in the UK.
Her clinical focus is providing genomic medicine to children and adults with all forms of genetic eye disease. She undertakes detailed clinical studies of several diseases to understand the natural history, while in the lab, dissects the molecular basis using zebrafish models and the patient's own retinas grown in a dish. She is developing treatment strategies, from drugs to gene therapies, to translate back to her patients with choroideremia.
Dr. Moosajee will join us to share more about the work she's doing on neuroprotection for CHM, a project which was funded in part by the Salois Family Research Award Grant provided by the CRF and the CRF Canada.
