Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology , Schepens Eye Research Institute
Location: United States
An internationally trained scientist, Dr. Baranov is committed to the development of stem-cell based and molecular therapies for blinding diseases. At Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass. Eye and Ear, his lab is spearheading the transplantation of stem-cell derived retinal ganglion cells in animal models of Glaucoma. They have demonstrated that it is possible to produce functional RGCs from stem cells and successfully engraft them into the diseased retina. Now they combine the advancements in stem cell biology with tissue engineering and imaging tools to address major hurdles in RGC replacement. He also works on collaborative projects, that explore neuroprotection and disease modeling.
