Dr. Virender Sangwan is a practicing ophthalmologist currently an Associate Director at L.V.P.E.I., Hyderabad. His work represents the largest successful human trial of stem cell technology anywhere in the world. Today, he talks about his life and what led him to developing one of the most effective techniques for eye transplants through stem cell cultures. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
