Consultant eye surgeon Alex Shortt will be delivering a talk on the use of cell therapy in tackling corneal disease at the BCLA’s upcoming evening meeting.
Shortt will lead the meeting with a discussion about his 10 year research on the development of cell therapies for corneal and conjunctival disease.
He said: ‘My goal is to improve the lives of patients with chronic, severe ocular surface disease through the delivery of novel cellular therapies using different therapeutic cell types.’
