The goal of the Singh lab is to cure retinal degeneration due to genetic disease in patients. There are many retinal diseases such as Stargardts, Macular Degeneration, and Retinitis Pigmentosa, that are currently incurable. These diseases damage and eventually eliminate photoreceptors in the retina.
Our aim is to take healthy photoreceptors derived from stem cells and transplant them into the patient’s retina to replace the lost photoreceptors.

Having an uncommon genetic macular dystrophy had me very scared and uncertain about my prognosis, treatment options, expectations, and future quality of life. Seeing an expert like Dr Singh provides me with the most information possible and therefore the most reassurance and confidence that I am getting the best care possible and will have the best outcome possible even though I know my condition will continue to worsen. Having him on my side provides an enormous confidence that I can move forward in my life with my disease. He is invaluable.

Dr. Singh provided good easily understandable explanations and options for my macular degeneration. The option chosen was to start eye injections to try to slow down the degeneration. He also explained that a less probable to injections was eye infection.
