We're excited to then implement the imaging tools that Alf [Dubra] and Vivek [Srinivasan] have developed in order to assay to what extent this visual stimulation in virtual reality is helping improve the structural biomarkers of retinal ganglion cell health that are measured by imaging.

Being able to image them in the human eye at high enough resolution to use the presence of those markers — in this case the presence of axons and some of the shipment of different protein cargo and other things that are important for the ganglion cell health — to monitor those as a way to understand whether or not ganglion cells are healthy or not or getting sicker or not.

Glaucoma Research Foundation is continuing to fund the CFC Biomarker scientists for another year so they can demonstrate positive correlations between the health of the retinal ganglion cells and the particular measurements they are performing.

But if we pick therapeutic candidates that might enhance function and show us an acute improvement in vision, or use a metabolic biomarker that again gives us the hint that we've acutely improved the health of retinal ganglion cells, that can give us confidence in a short period of time that the therapeutic candidate we are studying has promise.
