Decellularized corneal matrix hydrogel-based injectable hydrogel

A toxicology study will be essential to prove the safety of hydrogel during human applications.

Objectives of the project

1. Preparation and characterization of Cornea hydrogel from Bovine sources
2. Extensive Toxicology study (Cytotoxicity, Skin sensitization, Ocular Irritation, etc.)
3. Data collection and documentation for Regulatory approval for human trial
