Shahzad Mian, M.D., Chair and Professor, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Director of U-M’s Kellogg Eye Center recounts that for more than 25 years, he’s been consistently frustrated by the lack of options for his patients with inherited corneal dystrophies, wherein the front surface of the eye is damaged leading to a loss of vision over time. While there are treatments for the condition, they are limited in their benefit, with the disease recurring.

Together with Lev Prasov, M.D., Ph.D. an assistant professor of ophthalmology and visual science and human genetics, and Yan Zhang, Ph.D., associate professor of biological chemistry and microbiology and immunology, their research team combined both discovery and clinical science in search of an answer.
