Relevant project findings
Prof. Carelli’s institutional page publicly lists his email (valerio.carelli@unibo.it). His laboratory is a natural European counterpart to Neurophth and Seoul National’s gene-editing work, with deep expertise in LHON molecular pathogenesis.
Potential connection opportunities: his neurogenetics program could benefit from direct comparison with Asian gene therapy cohorts (Neurophth’s GOLD trial).
