Researchers in the sensory area work to restore function to sensory nerves. Recent discoveries in this area have impacted patients with hearing and sight loss. Examples include research on ocular angiogenesis; development of polymeric materials for retina and cornea regeneration; and investigation of genes to develop, protect and regenerate sensory hair cells.
