🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 Our first paper of the year is out in Ophthalmology @AAOjournal! We analyzed 1351 eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) from AREDS & AREDS2 over 4 years to uncover key drivers of BCVA decline: 🔹 Baseline BCVA 🔹 GA proximity to the foveal center 🔹 GA growth rate We also developed a 3-step approach to stratify 4-year BCVA loss risk & identify who may benefit most from current/future treatment—a step forward in GA care & clinical trial design! Grateful to my mentors & collaborators for their support! 📖 Read more: aaojournal.org/article/S0161… #Ophthalmology #GeographicAtrophy #VisionResearch #BCVA #MedicalResearch

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve matched into my first-choice vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at Duke! The first photo was taken 10 years ago, when I was an undergraduate at Duke assisting with intraoperative OCT that we developed and observing Dr. Cynthia Toth teach retina fellows in the OR. That's when I knew I wanted to become a VR surgeon and a scientist like her. The second photo is from today, during Dr. Toth’s visit to UCSF. She delivered a named lecture on intraoperative OCT and her career journey. This moment truly brings things full circle, and I can’t wait to begin my VR fellowship at Duke! I'm so grateful to my amazing mentors along the way!

Excited to present a paper at #AAO2024 this Sunday. I’ll be sharing our findings on key factors contributing to visual acuity decline in patients with GA, and discussing which patients may benefit their visual acuity most from therapies that slow GA progression. @aao_ophth

Our latest review @AnnualReviews, led by @DrNoraLad, delves into functional and anatomical endpoints in #GeographicAtrophy clinical trials, explores the gap between structural and functional outcomes, and highlights key prognostic factors. We also provide recommendations for improving future trial designs. #VisionScience #AMD Read more: annualreviews.org/content/jo…

Our latest study @AAOjournal shows that increased baseline hyperautofluorescent signals (rim area focal hyperautofluorescence) is linked to faster geographic atrophy progression, particularly in small to medium-sized lesions. #AAO #Ophthalmology #GA ophthalmologyscience.org/art…

Looking forward to presenting our work on #choroideremia and #AOSLO at 1:30 pm on Sunday in room 612 at Seattle Convention Center #ARVO2024 @RoordaLab

I am extremely sad to hear that my mentor and role model, Professor Joseph Izatt, passed away yesterday. He is a giant in engineering and ophthalmology, and has inspired countless of trainees. It’s such a tragedy to the field. today.duke.edu/2024/04/duke-…
