Dr Nadia Waheed said: “This is an exciting time for me to join Gyroscope. As a retinal surgeon, and a frequent collaborator with innovative companies, my passion has been to find meaningful solutions for patients facing retinal diseases. GT005 represents a unique approach as a one-time gene therapy that may slow the progression of a blinding disease for patients for whom currently there is no good option. I’m excited to be part of a team that I believe will make a difference for people with dry AMD.”
Dr Jane Hughes said: “Over the past year I’ve been privileged to work with the researchers and scientific founders at Gyroscope to better understand the complement system and its role in dry AMD to bring GT005 from an idea in a laboratory to an investigational gene therapy. I’m excited about the next phase of research growth that lies ahead in building the Gyroscope pipeline of medicines.”
