PRPH2 Workshop 2026: Select Presentations
The 2026 PRPH2 Workshop brought together researchers, clinicians, patients, and families for two days of scientific exchange and connection, building on the foundation laid at the inaugural workshop in 2023. Hosted in partnership by the Nixon Visions Foundation, the Foundation Fighting Blindness, and UC San Diego's Treatment Center for Rare Genetic Eye Disease, the workshop featured updates on emerging science, therapeutic approaches, and collaborative projects advancing PRPH2 research around the world. Below, you'll find a selection of presentations from the workshop, shared with the permission of their presenters. We hope they inform, inspire, and strengthen the growing PRPH2 community.
