I-RNA

What they’re doing: I-RNA is using RNA technology to make a more effective and less invasive treatment options ranging from injections to eye drops. They also have RNA-based testing kits to  both detect and assess the stages of diabetic retinopathy.

How will this be used in the real world? Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness around the world. I-RNA is using precision medicine to replace current detection and treatments with a potentially more effective injection and less invasive eye drops, giving patients better quality of life.
