We’re proud to partner with WFIRM on a groundbreaking mission to make whole eye transplants a reality. Funded by ARPA-H, this project addresses the challenges of whole-eye transplantation, including the need for medical devices that can sustain the viability of donor eyes while they are transported to their intended recipient.   Together, we’re pushing regenerative medicine boundaries to restore sight for the blind. - Carrie DiMarzio & Vijay Gorantla MD PhD MMM FAST Learn More: https://lnkd.in/e_iCcadC Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) #VisionRestoration #EyeTransplants #RegenerativeMedicine #RestoringSight #InnovativeSurgery #WholeEyeTransplant #WFIRMInnovation #BMIOrganBank #ARPAHResearch #VISIONInitiative #TransformingLives #OvercomingBlindness #RevolutionaryMedicine #FutureOfHealthcare #MedicalBreakthrough #Ophthalmology #TransplantResearch #MedicalInnovation #BiomedicalEngineering #HealthcareInnovation #WFIRM #universityofpittsburg #StanfordUniversity

If We Could Cure Blindness? A New VISION: Groundbreaking Collaboration Advances Whole Eye Transplants A historic breakthrough in regenerative surgery is on the horizon, as the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and BMI OrganBank partner with a Stanford University-led consortium to pioneer vision-restoring whole eye transplants (WET). Funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) through the Total Human Eye Allotransplantation (THEA) program, this initiative aspires to transform the lives of millions affected by irreversible blindness.
