Sayer Vision Research Lecture: Translating RPE Biology into Disease Treatments using iPS Cells

12th Sayer Vision Research Lecture Dr. Bharti's laboratory developed and functionally validated in vitro models of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). The RPE cells, matured on a biodegradable scaffold, formed a functional monolayer patch. The FDA recently approved a phase I/IIa safety and feasibility clinical trial to test an autologous iPSC-RPE patch in patients with the geographic atrophy form of age-related macular degeneration.Air date: 4/21/2020 11:00:00 AM
