Sasamoto Lab

Yuzuru Sasamoto, MD, PhD studies corneal regeneration using techniques such as direct reprogramming, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and limbal progenitor cells.

He is currently working on the comprehensive characterization of ocular surface epithelium from conjunctiva to cornea. Ultimately, the lab’s focus is on the discovery of new therapies that could benefit those who are affected by corneal disease.
