About
Dr. Rosenblatt, Head of the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, is a clinician scientist with interest in corneal regenerative medicine who is developing novel regenerative treatments for ocular surface and corneal disease, including programs in ocular surface tissue engineering, corneal epithelial stem cells, and the repair of corneal nerves and sensation after injury. Dr. Rosenblatt has embarked upon an ocular surface tissue engineering project which uses surface modified silk films to optimize outcomes of ocular surface reconstruction. He translates these findings to clinically relevant models of corneal disease as a prelude to treating patients with potentially blinding corneal disease.
