The country requires more than over 1 million corneal transplants annually, but only 25,000 procedures are performed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why\u2019s that? Currently, the only way to get a cornea replaced is through transplant from people who have pledged to donate their organs upon their death. Unfortunately, 40% of the donated corneas don\u2019t meet the standards required for a transplant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>500-backed biotech company <a href=\"https:\/\/pandorum.com\/\">Pandorum Technologies<\/a> has been addressing this, and the latest update from the team: they are joining forces with India\u2019s leading eyecare institute Dr. Shroff\u2019s Charity Eye Hospital to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/430i54D\">launch a one-of-its-kind center offering advanced regenerative therapeutics for corneal blindness.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pandorum\u2019s bioengineered cornea can replace human tissue to promote the regeneration of a healthy, functional cornea. The partnership aims to help bridge the demand for corneas by making regenerative treatments accessible to millions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The artificial cells are applied as liquid drops on the cornea. They solidify in less than 10 minutes, integrate into the patient\u2019s cornea, regenerate nerves, and even suppress inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dr. Tuhin Bhowmick, CEO &amp; Director at Pandorum called this \u201ca step towards successfully restoring vision in patients suffering from corneal blindness with unmet clinical needs.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cOur flagship product bioengineered cornea is an innovative approach with demonstrated results in pre-clinical studies and currently under clinical regulatory path as an advanced therapy,\u201d he added.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/430i54D\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partners that see eye-to-eye&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4227,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[465],"class_list":["post-4226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-pandorum-technologies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
