The Seigel laboratory's primary research focus is the study of cancer stem cells in retinoblastoma. In particular, they study ocular stem cells and precursor cells in order to isolate, establish and characterize cell lines with basic and clinical applications in Ophthalmology.

*Now affiliated with University at Buffalo.
