UH Biomedical Engineering Student Wins NSF Grant to Present Research At AfroBiotech Conference NIH-funded project to explore whether gene therapy can correct genetic deafness A world-renowned authority on genetic mutations associated with hereditary retinal disorders from the University of Houston is working with a researcher from Harvard Medical School specializing in the diseases and disorders of the ear, nose and throat (ENT) to advance research involving gene therapy options that could one day expand treatment of patients suffering from Usher syndrome. UH and Harvard Researchers Join Forces For Usher Syndrome Research Engineering students address needs in the UH and Houston communities It’s the season of giving, and students who are enrolled in the UH Cullen College of Engineering ’s Program for Mastery in Engineering Studies (PROMES) are making the most of it. UH PROMES Scholars Give Back This Holiday Season UH Research Team Examines Eye Disease with $2.5 Million Award Four words you never want to hear from the eye doctor are retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Both are genetic disorders that can cause loss of vision and neither has a cure. A team of biomedical researchers at the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering is now tackling both eye diseases by exploring a protein in the retina that links them: peripherin2 (prph2).
