Biography
With background training in clinical medicine (ophthalmology) and in Medical Genetics (PhD) my career has been focused on basic and clinical science of hereditary ocular disorders and congenital malformations. Primarily at the University of Arizona this has taken the form of practicing medicine and family studies in the field to expand our understanding of the role of genes and mutations in the causation of disease. Importantly this has been within the context of teaching graduate and medical students in order to prepare the next generation of clinicians.
