Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
I specialize in the medical management of both infectious and non-infectious uveitis, scleritis, and other forms of ocular inflammation. My expertise includes the effective use of immune suppression treatments.
Research Interest for Referring Providers
My research is dedicated to improving the treatment of uveitis. Our team utilizes genomic and bioinformatics analyses of human samples to uncover new insights into the disease's pathophysiology. Our goal is to identify the critical cells and molecules driving uveitis in each patient, enabling the development of a precision medicine approach. We are eager to collaborate with patients, clinicians, scientists, and industry partners to advance uveitis treatment.
