The Innovators by Abbie Elliott ASCRS•ASOA Communications Manager Over the past 30 years, Dr. Kinoshita has focused on the research and development of new therapeutic modalities for the cornea. Following this path, his research group established the novel systems of cultivated mucosal epi- thelial stem cell transplantation and cultivated corneal endothelial cell transplantation. Dr. Kinoshita has been honored as the Doyne Memorial Lecturer of the 2011 Oxford Ophthalmologi- cal Congress in the U.K., the 2010 Meibom Lecturer in Germany, and he gave the 2010 Claes H. Dohlman Conference Address of the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society. He received the 2009 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmol- ogy (ARVO) Gold Fellow, the 2008 Castroviejo Medal from the Cornea Society, and the 1999 Alcon Re- search Institute Award. Dr. Kinoshita served as ARVO vice president (2011), ARVO trustee of the cornea section (2006–2011), and an ARVO program commit- tee member of the cornea section (1996–1999).
