Jill Beyer, OD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Ophthalmology
Bio Jill Beyer, OD, is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Beyer graduated from Southern California College of Optometry, earning her Doctor of Optometry degree with distinction. She completed her residency at New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Oregon State University.
Jill?s residency education included time spent at the Boston Foundation for Sight, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Cornea Consultants & Boston Laser Center, and Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates.
After residency training, Jill continued on as a clinical preceptor at the New England College of Optometry while working in private practice in Boston. She then transitioned to full time academic work at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary becoming the Director of the Contact Lens Department and an Instructor in Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School. -
Mark S. Blumenkranz, MD, MMS
H. J. Smead Professor of Ophthalmology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Clinical Interest and Research
My primary areas of interest are in the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of vitreal retinal diseases. These principally include age-related macular degeneration and other diseases of the macula, and tractional syndromes, diabetic retinopathy, and complex forms of retinal detachment. I have been interested in the development of novel technology to diagnose and treat these diseases, including new forms of imaging, laser delivery systems, other microsurgical tools, and new drugs and drug delivery systems that inhibit new blood vessel growth, scarring and intraocular inflammation. I have been actively involved in translational research in the laboratory as well as technology transfer associated with that research for a variety of new therapies that have received FDA clearance and been introduced into clinical practice over the past 30 years.
Administrative and Community Service
I have served on the Board of Directors of a variety of voluntary education and service organizations, including the Corporation of Brown University, multiple scientific advisory boards and various philanthropic and research organizations. -
Kun-Che Chang
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Ophthalmology
Bio Kun-Che (Gary) Chang was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He obtained his B.S. in Life Science from National Dong Hwa University (Taiwan) in 2006 and his M.S. in Biotechnology from National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) in 2008. After worked at National Taiwan University for 1 year, he transited to University of Minnesota, Dept. of Pharmacology as a research assistant from 2010 to 2011. He joined the Toxicology PhD program at University of Colorado and was mentored by Dr. J. Mark Petrash at Dept. of Ophthalmology. He obtained his PhD degree in 2015. His PhD thesis focuses on prevention of ocular inflammation. He joined Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg's lab's for his post-doctoral training at Dept. of Ophthalmology, Stanford University in 2016.

Wei Chen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Ophthalmology
Bio My long-term goals involve the development of a full understanding of key molecular mechanisms and the identification of corresponding therapeutics for human diseases. My research training and academic experience have provided me with an excellent background necessary in multiple fields including molecular biology, cell biology, medicinal chemistry, and biochemical pharmacology. We first revealed a novel mechanism underscoring the regulation of metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function of epithelial cells by IL-22 during cell injury, which might provide useful insights from the bench to the clinic in treating and preventing more diseases, especially acute stroke/traumatic brain injuries. We subsequently demonstrated that autophagy was induced to play cytoprotective roles in numerous cells, which highlighted the potential therapeutic strategies for CNS neurodegeneration diseases or cancer by targeting autophagy. During my undergraduate and graduate careers, I also received several academic awards, including two times National Scholarship. For my postdoctoral training, I will continue to build on my previous researches in metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function regulations by concentrating on determining the role of mitochondrial thioredoxin metabolism in neuronal survival. These new scientific issues will allow me to address additional problems regarding the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and develop a neuroprotective gene therapy strategy to protect CNS neurodegenerative diseases/injuries.
