About Boris Stanzel

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.
