The company is currently in the early stages of investigating a novel product concept, partly based on the known pathology which has been shown to play a major role in loss of retinal cells in the eye. Using proven and safe gene therapy technology, Quethera is aiming to advance the glaucoma therapy into clinical trials within three years which is designed to correct the pathology within the retina, thereby preventing blindness.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
