Center for Hereditary Retinal Degenerations

Our Center aims to provide better sight for people living with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) such as retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, Leber congenital amaurosis, blue cone monochromacy, choroideremia and many others. Co-director Dr. Aleman provides clinical care to IRD patients who carry the burden of progressive vision loss that is currently not treatable. Co-directors Dr. Cideciyan and Dr. Aleman perform world-class research in clinical trials and in the laboratory to make progress towards treatments.
