  • Biotech startup Pandorum Technologies, which focuses on tissue engineering, made history a few years ago by being the first Indian company to 3D-print human liver tissue for medical research.
  • Now, scientists at Pandorum Technologies have achieved a new milestone, having bio-engineered human cornea tissue to enable scarless healing of corneal wounds and help restore vision through bio-regeneration.
  • Pandorum Technologies' 3D bio-printed cornea stroma lenticule Corneal injuries or disorders affecting the cornea, the outermost layer of the eye, are one of the major causes of vision loss across the world, according to the World Health Organisation.
  • Cornea surgeon Dr. Virender Sangwan says, "Pandorum's bio-engineered cornea is a transformational technology and could lead to scarless healing of corneal injuries with rejection-free corneal graft.
