Mark Daniell is the Head of the Corneal Unit at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and Associate Professor at CERA and the University of Melbourne. His main research interests are in cornea and external disease and stem cell surgery, as well as surgery of the cornea and lens.
Mark’s research at CERA is into corneal stem cell transplantation. Stem cells from various parts of the eye can be cultivated and expanded in the laboratory. Successfully transplanting these delicate cell layers requires the development of thin, transparent, biocompatible membranes. Together with collaborators at the University of Melbourne’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department and at the Mawson Institute in Adelaide, Mark and his team are developing novel substrates for the transfer of stem cells into the eye. Clinical trials into treatment of limbal stem cell failure secondary to chemical burns are due to start later this year.
His other research interest is in ocular infection. The current project is looking at innate immunity in the eye, in particular the role of mannin-binding lectin (MBL) in initiating the complement cascade
