Being able to see is an essential part of the human experience. Seeing allows us to integrate the physical,
emotional, and functional interactions in our world into the complex process we call life. In fact, the
English word “vision” has meanings beyond the physiological act of seeing with the eyes. Vision may
refer to unusual powers of discernment, perception, or foresight. A vision can be a flash of inspiration that
leads to a groundbreaking discovery, or it can be the ability to foresee an optimal tomorrow

The future relies on restoration of function. Diseases like Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Glaucoma can benefit from stem cell-derived cells to replace lost cells and tissues to restore vision
Our eyes contain specialized neurons such as photoreceptors for light sensing and retinal ganglion cells which connect our eyes to our brain. Eyes are thus a window into our brains
We have made significant advances in the development of the most effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to deal with cancers in and around the eye, some of which are broadly applicable to other cancer types
Using applied sciences, gene therapy, and engineering principles we are working continuously to advance eye health and functional recover in diseases from Macular Degeneration to Glaucoma
