Basic/Translational Research
Basic/Translational Research
Basic Research in the Department of Ophthalmology includes studies of the laser-tissue interactions and electro-neural interfaces, novel therapeutic laser applications, prosthetic vision, ophthalmic tissue engineering, advanced diagnostics and imaging, ocular microbiology, retinal and optic nerve pathologies, retinal plasticity, and stem cells.
Many of the basic research projects are conducted in collaboration with other departments at Stanford, including Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory, Genetics, Neurobiology, Electrical Engineering, providing expertise in these fields and access to sophisticated equipment such as lasers, electronics, optical systems, DNA arrays, multielectrode arrays, nanofabrication facilities.

Dedicated to fundamental discovery in vision science and the basis of diseases, as well as bringing new discoveries towards human testing. Novel diagnostics and therapeutics across ocular and vision science draw from expertise in neurosciences, genomics, stem cell biology, optical and laser engineering, and other strengths in the department and across Stanford.
Clinical trials from first-in-human testing through phase 2 and 3 trials on diagnostic and therapeutic innovations, whether invented at Stanford or tested here for our advanced technical capacity and commitment to patient care.
