Biomimetics Nanoplatform for the Treatment of Retinal Diseases aims to address the localized nature of current therapeutic drugs for retinal diseases.
CEVR has developed an innovative eye drug delivery method called the “Biomimetics NanoPlatform” for the precision treatment of retinal diseases. This platform leverage biorecognition to target and deliver drugs directly to the sites of neuroinflammation in the retina, facilitating more controlled drug release. Additionally, it protects unstable and easily degradable drugs, enhancing therapeutic efficacy while reducing side effects.
The Centre for Eye and Vision Research (CEVR) is a research collaboration between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Waterloo in Canada under the InnoHK initiative of the HKSAR Government. It is located at the Hong Kong Science Park, Shatin, Hong Kong. It is the first global hub performing ground-breaking research in five key areas Myopia and Eye Growth, Ocular Drug Discovery and Delivery, Vision Enhancement, Tear Film and Ocular Surface, and Advanced Optometric Technology. The mission of CEVR is to generate technologies to prevent vision loss in the aging population and preserve healthy vision.
