About
Bionic Sight, Inc. is a biotech company developing next-generation optogenetic gene therapies to treat retinal and neurodegenerative diseases. Founded by Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, a professor at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and MacArthur Fellow, the company's technology builds on her research into deciphering the retina's neural code and using it to restore visual function. The company's lead program, BS01, is an optogenetic treatment with a novel mechanism that combines gene therapy with a neural coding device. Bionic Sight's therapy has received RMAT (Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy) designation from the FDA, and targets conditions including retinitis pigmentosa, geographic atrophy, Stargardt's disease, and choroideremia. Clinical trial NCT04278131 demonstrated that blind patients were able to detect light and motion following treatment.
