Kanmin's research focuses on the development of gene therapy as a treatment for inherited diseases of the retina. In association with Professor Robert MacLaren, he is leading the clinical trial of gene therapy for choroideremia, a model genetic disorder that causes progressive blindness. He is also investigating the cellular responses to gene therapy viral vectors within the retina with a view to producing more potent and sustained therapeutic effects.
