Dr Raymond Wong is the Lead Researcher for the Cellular Reprogramming lab at the Centre for Eye Research Australia.

The Cellular Reprogramming Unit is dedicated to better understand and develop treatment for eye diseases using cell reprogramming and stem cell technologies. We incorporate advanced techniques such as human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and single cell transcriptomics in our research, with the goal to better understand and control cell fate decisions in the eye.

Dr Raymond Wong is a member of the Centre for Stem Cell Systems, and is speaking as part of the Anatomy and Neuroscience Seminar Series.
