PhD student
CMRI
Vivienne is a 2nd year PhD student in the Stem Cell Medicine Group at the Children's Medical Research Institute working under Associate Professor Anai Gonzalez-Cordero. Her project aims to generate iPSC-derived inner ear and retinal organoids to understand the disease pathophysiology of deaf-blinding Usher1b Syndrome. Alongside this, she is also using these organoids to develop novel AAV-gene therapeutics for this disease.
