“Glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) engineered TSG-6 exosomes for treatment of visual dysfunction in traumatic brain injury”
Dr. Raja got his PhD from National University of Singapore, School of Medicine, Molecular Biology. Afterwards he carried intense Postdoctoral research at Indiana University School of Medicine in the area of Vascular Biology. Therefore, he is a cell biologist with experience in Physiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Pharmacology with special interest in vascular biology.
The goal research program’s of Dr Raja is to employ adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue for the treatment of retinal neuro-vascular pathology. They primarily utilize preclinical in vitro and in vivo models to investigate the potential of our findings for clinical translation, with the long-term goal of advancing clinical management of Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Age-related macular degeneration.
