Transforming corneal stem cell-based therapies with innovative bioengineered technologies

Our group was first to discover a novel method of stem cell transplantation using contact lenses to treat corneal blindness. The cornea is the eye’s window and stem cells ensure its clarity for vision. To improve the success of our stem cell treatment so that it can reach the clinic and restore sight, our team of experts will use our patented biomaterials to support stem cells during transplantation. Whilst our educational and policy experts ready the sector for corneal stem cell therapies.
