Professors Nick Di Girolamo and Stephanie Watson

Meet Australian researchers who use stem cells to advance our understanding of how the body develops and what happens during disease.
Professors Nick Di Girolamo and Stephanie Watson were one of the first research groups to use stem cells to repair the damaged cornea and are now improving the protocols so that one day the treatment can be offered to more patients.
Nick is a stem cell scientist and Director of the Ocular Diseases Research Unit at the University of New South Wales and Stephanie, a practising corneal surgeon and leader of a lab in the Save Sight Institute at the University of Sydney.
