Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder caused by a breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. The disease affects an individual’s ability to move, their mood, and how they think. There’s currently no cure for Huntington’s disease, but there are types of gene therapy approaches that may offer hope for managing or slowing symptoms.
A New Tinnitus CURE? | OTO-313. Dr. Cliff Olson, Audiologist and founder of Applied Hearing Solutions in Phoenix Arizona, discusses a drug that is currently undergoing FDA clinical trials to see if it could be a CURE for Tinnitus.

A cure for tinnitus is something that has eluded researchers. With millions of individuals world wide suffering from this annoying condition that causes ringing in the ears, a cure is something that the world is in desperate need of. A pharmaceutical company Otonomy is trying to change that. They are searching for a cure for tinnitus and other ear related conditions. By using Gacyclidine a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, is a Phencyclidine derivative with neuroprotective properties, they hope to reverse tinnitus or at least suppress it. Gacyclidine is closely related to another drug called Phencyclidine which is more commonly known as PCP, which is a hallucinogenic drug. Currently in Phase 1/2 of FDA clinical trials, they hope to show a positive impact of Gacyclidine on tinnitus. Results of their safety and efficacy trials should be published by the end of 2020.

What if humans could be edited to run faster, jump higher, and think bigger? What if disease could be eradicated before it ever came to be? These are the questions that no longer belong in just comic books, but in the laboratory of the Innovative Genomics Institute’s Scientific Director, Jacob Corn. In this talk, he explores the future and ethics of CRISPR/Cas-9 genome editing.
[AV and event video provided by http://repertoireproductions.com].
Jacob Corn is the Managing Director and Scientific Director of the Innovative Genomics Initiative and faculty at UC Berkeley in the department of Molecular & Cell Biology. Jacob’s research generally bridges reductionist mechanism with cell biology, with the overarching goal of understanding how biophysical properties interact within the cellular environment to shape signaling behavior and how disease arises when these properties go awry. As the director of the IGI, Jacob is committed to pushing the boundaries of next-generation genome editing for transformative insights into fundamental biologies and to laying the groundwork for clinical and commercial applications of the technology.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
