Cornea & Ocular Surface Regeneration

Research into corneal disease, ocular surface reconstruction and advanced therapeutic approaches.

  • Corneal disease
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Cell therapy
  • Limbal transplantation
  • Biomaterials
  • Corneal neovascularization
  • Ocular infections
  • Advanced anterior-segment surgery

The question

Which regenerative and cell-based strategies can restore a functional cornea and ocular surface after disease, injury or infection?

Why it matters

Corneal disease remains a leading cause of avoidable visual impairment worldwide, and reconstruction of the ocular surface is still a major clinical challenge.

Our approach

Clinical research in advanced anterior-segment surgery is combined with biomaterial characterisation and translational evaluation of regenerative strategies.

Translational impact

Evidence supporting safer surgical and regenerative interventions for patients with severe ocular surface disease.

Technologies & methods

  • Ocular Imaging

    Optical coherence tomography

    Cross-sectional imaging of the anterior segment and posterior pole for structural characterisation.

  • Ocular Imaging

    Corneal topography & tomography

    Scheimpflug and reflection-based mapping of corneal geometry, elevation and thickness.

  • Computational Methods

    Quantitative image analysis

    Reproducible measurement pipelines for imaging data, with automated segmentation and metrics.

  • Clinical Research

    Clinical & medical-device studies

    Prospective, observational and interventional studies, usability and performance evaluation, postoperative follow-up and real-world evidence.
