Developing #EV #exosome therapeutics for #AMD #DiabeticR #RDegeneration @USCEye Lead by Sun Young Lee, MD, PhD.

[LeeRetinaLab@USC @LeeRetinaLab]

https://t.co/zt1X4NYuUo An important step forward in developing cell–based therapies for advanced age-related macular degeneration. While much work remains, this milestone allows us to test safety and the potential to improve vision. The clinical trial is now actively recruiting.

USC medical student Susan Kishi, who has been conducting her research in @LeeRetinaLab recently was received two prestigious honors:
Quia Memorial Travel Grant from 2025 ARVO, and 2025 AΩA Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship

Congratulations to Susan!

Watch out, ophthalmology community! @ClarisaMarieMed is on her way!

[LeeRetinaLab@USC @LeeRetinaLab]

@ClarisaMarieMed made our day today receiving the Oliver Goldsmith scholarship 💰AND the best podium award at her school. But what really got us was seeing her choose bench research with little experience. It took many hours of driving coming to the lab and trouble shooting!
