SEEING THE INFORMATION TO COMBAT DISEASE
DEDICATED RETINA RESEARCH TO DETECT, INVESTIGATE, AND IMPROVE CARE FOR PATIENTS
$2.16 MILLION
in total research projects supported
Dr. Smith’s work, which is supported by a $1.5-million endowment, is just one example of how donors are investing in research to change the future of disease and care. Like Research Chairs, endowments allow funds to be available in perpetuity. From lab to bedside, and whether impact is immediate or has a longer horizon, research is key.
My interests and background are in medical imaging – so a big focus of my work will be diagnosis, better understanding these diseases, identifying new markers, and improving ways to image the eye.
