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 InnoHK Centre for Eye and Vision Research (CEVR) was established in 2020 as a research collaboration between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the University of Waterloo (UWaterloo) in Canada. It is located at the Hong Kong Science Park, Shatin, Hong Kong. It is one of the research laboratories under the "InnoHK Research Clusters" initiative of the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. CEVR is committed to developing technologies that prevent, detect, treat, and mitigate vision loss, driving ground-breaking research across three key areas: Preserving and Restoring Healthy Vision, Next-Generation Therapeutics, and Advanced Optometry Technologies.
