Stem Cell Lab

  • Research Institute of Ophthalmology has established the stem cell laboratory under the umbrella of the cornea unit in order to eliminate the waiting lists for corneal degeneration patients.
  • RIO Stem Cell Lab, is established according to Clean Room Technology.
  • It uses gradient air pressure and HEPA filters.
  • It is composed of 2 rooms (4 sections) with sequential transition from class E to D to C to B particle count ,class B.

Experiments to be perform at Stem cell lab

The Stem cell lab aims to perform different techniques and experiments for treating corneal diseases So we aim to:

1.Study the effect of Limbal stem cells cultured on amniotic membrane on corneal ulcer rabbit model.

2.Use Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from rabbit bone marrow to be differentiated to corneal epithelial cells on corneal ulcer rabbit model.

3.Further research in Retinal Diseases will follow.
