Improving the Success Rate of Corneal Transplants
Corneal disease is a leading cause of blindness worldwide and affects individuals of both genders and of all age groups.
- VISICORT is an EU-funded research project to help improve corneal transplant success.
- VISICORT has collected and analyzed more than 50,000 human bio-samples from 5 leading European eye hospitals and clinics.
- The VISICORT Foundation Biobank of bio-specimens will support future research in eye damage and disease.
- VISICORT has manufactured a mesenchymal stromal cell product that will be trialled in people under-going high-risk corneal transplantation at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin as part of a safety and feasibility study to mitigate rejection episodes.
