The presentation, titled “Pioneering A New Wave of Optogenetic Therapeutics for Vision Restoration,” will take place on June 14, at 4:15 PM PT in Company Presentation Theater 3.

“We will highlight our Multi-Characteristic Opsin gene therapy candidate, MCO-010, which is part of our optogenetics platform for vision restoration in people blinded by retinitis pigmentosa and other retinal diseases,” said Ms. Bhattacharya.

“This is an exciting time for the Company as we advance our clinical programs and expect multiple clinical milestones for MCO-010 over the next 12-months. In the first quarter of 2023, we anticipate reporting both topline Phase 2b RESTORE data results for MCO-010 in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, as well as 6-month data from our open label Phase 2 STARLIGHT trial for patients with Stargardt disease,” continued Ms. Bhattacharya.
