The Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR) is a research institute based at the University of Edinburgh. Our scientists and clinicians study tissue regeneration and repair to advance human health and reproductive outcomes. The Institute incorporates the Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM), Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR) and the Centre for Reproductive Health (CRH).
Tiny fish model to tackle a ‘silent epidemic’ of blindness
Tiny fish model to tackle a ‘silent epidemic’ of blindness
New study develops a zebrafish model that can be used to study microbial keratitis. Using this model, IRR scientists led by Dr Kelvin Cheng (Rossi lab) observed how the eye responds to both injury and bacterial infection. The model could transform how researchers understand and eventually treat this disease.
