Harnessing the Power of Stem Cells, Cell Therapy and Gene Therapy
Collaborations across departments bring new breakthroughs
There’s hope that both cell and gene therapies can be used to delay or reverse the effects of blinding disorders and other visual impairments. Associate professor of pediatrics, Bikash Pattnaik, PhD, and professor of ophthalmology, David Gamm, MD, PhD, give an update on their research in these areas, explain how stem cells play a key role in this work, and discuss how collaborations across departments make advances possible.
