DEAR FRIENDS,
Two words come to mind when we consider the last year: generosity
(yours) and gratitude (ours!).
We are amazed by your extraordinary desire to help us achieve the primary
goal of Mass. Eye and Ear: to find cures that will enable every child born today
to see and hear throughout her lifetime. While this report is a small attempt to
say thanks, you will see even deeper gratitude demonstrated by the resolve of
our clinicians and scientists to further advance discovery and innovation. Your generosity fuels their progress.
2014 was an outstanding year for the hospital, but no initiative brought us more excitement than the advancement of
Bold Science. Life-Changing Cures. The Campaign for Mass. Eye and Ear. Now in its fourth year, the campaign allows
us to more broadly invest in the incredible research, care and teaching happening here every day. You will see in the
pages that follow the wonderful responses we have received from you — patients, generous friends and people who
believe in our mission. Simply put, you have helped us to more than double annual fundraising for Mass. Eye and Ear
in just the last three years.
In the coming months we expect to more publicly announce Bold Science. Life-Changing Cures. The Campaign for
Mass. Eye and Ear (you heard it here first). Then the real work begins! We hope that you will remain a close friend and
partner – helping us to tell the great stories of outstanding patient care and exciting discoveries.
Thank you for the important role that you play in our success.
Sincerely,
Wyc Grousbeck John Fernandez
Chairman of the Board President & CEO

STEM CELL THERAPY TO REVERSE CORNEAL BLINDNESS
For the first time in the United States, people blinded by severe corneal
disease will participate in a clinical trial using their own stem cells to attempt to
biologically restore their vision.
“I am very proud of the incredible work that Drs. Jurkunas and
Dana have accomplished. When they came to me six years ago
with a bold plan to revolutionize corneal transplantation, I was
excited and wanted to help. Now I am thrilled to see our plan
Ula Jurkunas, M.D.
and vision coming to fruition.”
— Tamra Gould
Principal Investigator, Ula Jurkunas, M.D., in collaboration with Reza Dana, M.D., Ph.D., have pioneered a stem cell
transplantation technique for patients blinded by corneal disease where standard corneal transplantation is not an option.
Using healthy stem cells from the patient’s good eye, Dr. Jurkunas and her team, including fellow Kishore Reddy, Ph.D.,
will grow corneal cells externally in the laboratory and then transplant new cornea cell sheets onto the diseased eye,
restoring function to the cornea. The team later hopes to perfect this method using stem cells from the patient’s mouth,
which will enable a solution for patients with two diseased eyes.
With generous support from a number of Mass. Eye and Ear friends, including Tamra Gould, Chris Snook and Susan
Stoddart, David Vargo and Sheila Collins, and the Grinnell Fund, the team has advanced this work to achieve a historic
milestone. The Food and Drug Administration has approved their request to begin performing these experimental
stem cell therapies in humans for the first time in the United States through a human trial that will begin in the coming
months. This is a giant step toward our goal of preserving and restoring vision for patients with corneal disease.
These efforts are conducted in collaboration with the Center for Human Cell Therapy at Children’s Hospital and the
Connell O’Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, combining their expertise in the
development and manufacturing of clinical grade stem cell therapies with our surgical corneal expertise.

Dr. Tessa Hadlock is passionate about helping people overcome facial
paralysis to regain one of life’s greatest joys — the ability to smile, an
essential component of human communication. Nicknamed the “Smile
Doctor,” Dr. Hadlock is an expert in surgical techniques that rewire
a patient’s face — literally — by transplanting nerves and tissue to
paralyzed areas to renew facial movement.
“As a patient of Dr Hadlock, I know firsthand
the importance of her knowledge of facial
nerve disorders and their surgical cures. We
are delighted to partner with her in training
the next generation of specialists. It feels good
Tessa Hadlock, M.D.
to know that others with facial nerve problems
will benefit as a result.” — Charles Vadakin
As chief of Mass. Eye and Ear’s Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division, Dr. Hadlock and her team have treated
over 2,000 patients with facial nerve paralysis since 2002, including many victims of domestic violence. Their dedication
has impacted the lives of many people, renewing hope and providing a new start for many who had nearly given up.
Dr. Hadlock recognizes that in order to help more people, additional facial nerve and facial reconstruction specialists
are urgently needed. The Division offers two fellowships, providing hands-on experience in diagnosing, treating and
operating on patients while also learning how to become academic physicians dedicated to improving treatments
through research. Grateful patients like Charles and Anne Vadakin help to make these fellowships possible.

PARTNERING TO RESTORE HEARING
Advancing cures by investing in medical research is a
passion for renowned businessman and philanthropist
David H. Koch. In addition to his steadfast commitment
to curing cancer, Mr. Koch has a keen interest in new
treatments for hearing loss. That interest led him to
Albert Edge, Ph.D., a leading scientist at Mass. Eye and
Ear’s Eaton-Peabody Laboratories. Mr. Koch and Dr.
Edge first talked in New York City where Dr. Edge was
lecturing on new approaches for regenerating inner
ear hearing cells. “When I met Dr. Edge, I saw that he
was making important progress toward treatments for
hearing loss, a problem that has long eluded physicians
and scientists,” said Mr. Koch.
Since that initial visit, Dr. Edge has published a major
breakthrough in Neuron, a top scientific journal,
showing how he partially restored hearing in a mammal
by replacing the key cells for hearing, the first time that
David H. Koch
has been done. “Mr. Koch has been a great partner and
champion for the science. He has a good understanding

that lead to deafness. The progress in hearing science
has enabled important advances in restoration of
hearing that will ultimately make hearing loss a treatable
condition and have a huge impact on quality of life
for people everywhere.

CHAMPIONS FOR CURES
For Fred and Ines Yeatts, philanthropy is all about
partnering with Mass. Eye and Ear scientists to accelerate
innovation and discovery. Since 2007 they have
championed the research of Dr. Zheng-Yi Chen in the
Eaton-Peabody Laboratories.
“We first read about Zheng-Yi in the Boston Globe and we
were fascinated by his work to regrow inner ear hearing
cells. We called him up and asked to meet and learn
more,” said Fred Yeatts. “Since then Zheng-Yi has made
Fred Yeatts, Demetrios Vavvas, M.D., Ines Yeatts
huge strides forward. It’s exciting to see his work advancing
the field towards treatments to restore hearing.”
“Drs. Miller and Vavvas are passionate and
dedicated. We know that by supporting their
research, others will benefit greatly with improved
vision. They inspire us.”
— Ines Yeatts
The Yeatts’ interest in research goes beyond hearing to
also include vision and the breakthrough research in agerelated macular degeneration led by Drs. Joan W. Miller
and Demetrios Vavvas.

BRINGING LIGHT TO A WORLD GOING DIM
At the age of 17, Candyce was diagnosed with retinitis
pigmentosa (RP), a rare degenerative eye disease that
causes severe vision impairment and blindness. As an active
teenager, with a passion for tennis, RP was a devastating
diagnosis.
Seeking the best care, the Texas teen’s mother took her to
every doctor she could find. Her search eventually led them
Candyce and Sherri Lane Henwood
to Mass. Eye and Ear where they met Dr. Eric Pierce who
leads Mass. Eye and Ear’s world-renowned Ocular Genomics
Institute. Dr. Pierce and his team are working hard to find cures for blinding conditions like RP. The Henwood family
left Boston with hope for the future – something they had not found anywhere else. Today, Candyce is a junior at the
University of Texas in Tyler. She continues to work closely with Dr. Pierce and his team at Mass. Eye and Ear.
“My vision is declining, as is typical with RP, however, I am doing
everything I can to remain positive. I have tremendous confidence in the
doctors at Mass. Eye and Ear – and I know that in time, there will be a
treatment for me.”
— Candyce Henwood
Several years ago, Candyce provided a blood sample to Dr. Pierce with hopes that he could identify the precise gene causing
her vision loss. “Dr. Pierce was able to do just that – he identified my defective gene,” she said. “That was step one! The next
step is to replace this bad gene or repair it so that my sight can be saved and lost vision restored. This process is called gene
therapy and it offers tremendous hope and promise to millions of people, like me, going blind from retinal disease.”
To help in the fight against blindness, the Henwood family established the Candyce Lane Henwood Gene Therapy
Research Fund at Mass. Eye and Ear. Their goal was $100,000 but with the incredible support of their community they
raised nearly $285,000 from a fundraiser they held in their hometown of Cuero, Texas.
