 This year's Iraty Award for Research in Retinal Diseases honors Petr Baranov, PhD, a scientist at Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass. Eye and Ear and Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School.

 The award will support Dr. Baranov's development of deep, learning-based computer algorithms to distinguish features of stem-cell derived organoids based on the brightfield imaging. Dr. Baranov hopes that by developing a universal, noninvasive, scalable, and rapid approach to assess the state of the cell and forecast its fate would have a significant impact on stem-cell research.
