Keith Martin (ophthalmologist)

In 2013, Professor Martin's team tested a novel technique of bio-printing, using an ink jet to recreate layers of ganglion and glial cells from a rat's retina, a process that has been described as 'printing eyeballs'.

Martin was educated at The Royal School, Armagh, from 1980 to 1987, and was head boy in his final year.

[1] He then won a place at St Catharine's College, Cambridge to read medical science and neuroscience.
