Daniel Teh Boon Loong is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Innovation and Precision Eye Health, National University of Singapore. His research focuses on developing translational optogenetics for direct visual restoration and regenerative medicine in response to inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). The applications of optogenetics involve the genetic engineering of cells to respond to specific wavelengths of light, aiming to restore vision in cases like Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) by bypassing degenerated photoreceptors through stimulation of ganglion cells. His work integrates molecular optogenetics, striving to create opsins that respond to a broader spectrum of photons at low intensity, with the goal of achieving long-lasting visual restoration. Throughout his career, he has published several significant works advancing the field of optogenetics and its applicability in medicine.
