Boris Stanzel

Boris Stanzel works on stem cell replacement for frequent age-related blindness. With his collaborators, Stanzel transplanted stem-cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium into the subretinal space of rabbits, a first in a large-eyed animal model. The transplants remained intact at four weeks, suggesting that many of the roadblocks to RPE monolayer transplantation have been overcome.

We talk with Boris Stanzel about growing retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells on carrier scaffolds, implanting them under the retina, and the potential it has to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
