The Myung Lab - Stanford Ophthalmic Regenerative Biomaterials Research Group
At the Byers Eye Institute and Spencer Vision Research Center at Stanford, the Myung Lab is an NIH-funded translational research group focused on two main clinical areas:
1. Ophthalmic Regenerative Medicine: This involves tissue engineering and drug delivery aimed at fostering the regeneration of ocular tissues. The lab uses chemistry to build biomimetic cellular architectures and to target and release bioactive molecules to promote healing.
2. Global Health through Mobile Technologies and Telemedicine:The lab aims to extend diagnostics and patient care beyond traditional healthcare settings using consumer mobile technologies. They seek to challenge current paradigms of eye care delivery with new digital health technologies to increase access in resource-limited settings both in the US and abroad.
