J. Wayne Streilein

J. Wayne Streilein (Johnstown, Pennsylvania, June 19, 1935 – March 15, 2004)[1] was a scientist whose main area of research was the ocular immune system.[2] He is known particularly for studying the mechanisms that keep the cornea avascular despite the inflammatory and other stimuli that usually promote small blood vessel ingrowth; these peculiar corneal mechanisms provide the basis for what is known as the "corneal antiangiogenic privilege".[3]
