Alfredo Dubra, PhD

Professor of Ophthalmology
Research Interests
Our lab seeks to help the early diagnosing and monitoring progression of ocular, vascular, neurodegenerative and systemic diseases through novel non-invasive optical ophthalmic imaging. We pursue this goal through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates optics, computer science, vision science, electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines.

Scott R. Lambert, MD

Professor of Ophthalmology and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
Clinical Focus
adult strabismus, pediatric strabismus, pediatric cataracts, congenital cataracts, pediatric nasolacrimal duct disorders, pediatric ocular trauma, retinal dystrophy in children, Ophthalmology
Research Interests
My research has focused on improving the visual outcomes of children with congenital cataracts. I organized a randomized clinical trial, the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study to compare the visual outcomes of infants optically corrected with a contact lens vs. an intraocular lens after unilateral cataract surgery. A second area of research has been ocular growth after cataract surgery.

Michael Marmor, MD

Professor of Ophthalmology, Emeritus
Clinical Focus
Ophthalmology, Medical retinal disease: in particular, retinal dystrophies, macular dystrophies, toxic retinopathy, disorders of retinal function such as night or color blindness, unexplained visual loss, Supervision of physiologic testing including electroretinogram ERG), multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and visually evoked potentials (VEP)
Research Interests
Research concerns diseases of retinal function, techniques of clinical electrophysiology, and experimental studies on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) function including fluid transport and retinal adhesiveness. Other studies consider aspects of vision and art, and ophthalmic history.
Published over 300 journal articles, chapters, books (only selected articles listed).

Heather E. Moss, MD, PhD

Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and of Neurology
Clinical Focus
Neuro-ophthalmology, Papilledema, pseudotumor cerebrii, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, optic neuritis, Neurology
Research Interests
I am a clinician scientist with a background in engineering, epidemiology and neuro-ophthalmology. In my research, I combine tools from these disciplines with the goal of understanding and preventing vision loss from optic nerve diseases. My focus is on papilledema, the swelling of the optic nerve head due to elevation in intracranial pressure, which we are characterizing using electrophysiological and imaging techniques. Other areas of interest are peri-operative vision loss and optic neuritis.

Prithvi Mruthyunjaya, MD, MHS

Professor of Ophthalmology and, by courtesy, of Radiation Oncology
Clinical Focus
Ophthalmology, Ocular Oncology, Vitreoretinal Surgery, Eye Cancer, Ocular Melanoma, Retinoblastoma, Ocular lymphoma, Choroidal metastatic disease, retinal detachment, Epiretinal membrane, Macular Hole
Research Interests
Dr Mruthyunjaya has maintained a broad research interest with publications in both ocular oncology and retinal diseases.
His focus is on multi-modal imaging of ocular tumors and understanding imaging clues that may predict vision loss after ocular radiation therapy. He coordinates multi-center research on the role of genetic testing and outcomes of treatments of ocular melanoma.
In the field of retinal diseases, his interests are in intra-operative imaging to enhance surgical accuracy.
