news.keckmedicine.org/can-a-retinal-… An important step forward in developing cell–based therapies for advanced age-related macular degeneration. While much work remains, this milestone allows us to test safety and the potential to improve vision. The clinical trial is now actively recruiting.
USC medical student Susan Kishi, who has been conducting her research in @LeeRetinaLab recently was received two prestigious honors: Quia Memorial Travel Grant from 2025 ARVO, and 2025 AΩA Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship Congratulations to Susan!
Good lesson often comes from the patient care! Nice work @victoriaywang @LeeRetinaLab #USC #Roskieye

@LeeRetinaLab was grateful to join the NEI EV workshop. We hope this report can serve as a catalyst for advancing EV vision research! Figure credit @DimitriosPoll
Just published: A perspective from the @NatEyeInstitute Extracellular Vesicle Workshop: Gaps, needs, and opportunities for studies of extracellular vesicles in vision research. Take a read! @IsevOrg Journal of Extracellular Vesicles: bit.ly/4gDHOHj
Pretty cool wrapping up!
Wrapping up 2024, we celebrate all the exciting scientific and personal accomplishments of the group members during this year. Happy Holiday season to all our friends and colleagues!

Watch out, ophthalmology community! @ClarisaMarieMed is on her way!
@ClarisaMarieMed made our day today receiving the Oliver Goldsmith scholarship 💰AND the best podium award at her school. But what really got us was seeing her choose bench research with little experience. It took many hours of driving coming to the lab and trouble shooting!
