NSCI is loving #ARVO2023! Great to reconnect with Dr. @JanmeetSaini who completed his PhD under Sally Temple's mentorship and is now a scientist with @Merck!

Happening today at #ARVO2023! Jeffrey Stern joins a distinguished panel to discuss Ophthalmic Cell & Gene Therapies hosted by @EmmesCRO.

Jeff co-founded both RRF & Luxa Biotech., sponsor of our Phase 1/2a clinical trial for a #StemCellTherapy to treat #maculardegeneration.

Thank you Rajesh, both for this touching post and for being such a terrific clinician and collaborator! It's especially timely as today is both the 1st day of #ARVO2023 and Jeff & Sally's wedding anniversary!
