What are you researching and why is it important?

Hello! I work in a lab that works on creating retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells from stem cells to help treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It's important because there really is not a cure for dry AMD currently. For more information, check out our lab website: http://www.lifesci.ucsb.edu/mcdb/labs/clegg/

I am researching about stem cells and as it is very important for human life, by these stem cell treatments we can save someone's life from many deadly diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart stroke etc.
