Research summary

This researcher works in ophthalmology and epidemiology, focusing on eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, and on using retinal images and genetic data to understand and predict broader health risks like diabetes, kidney disease, and dementia. Much of the recent work applies artificial intelligence and deep learning to retinal photographs to detect eye and systemic diseases earlier and non-invasively, an approach sometimes called 'oculomics'. The work also connects genetic, lifestyle, and population-level (epidemiological) data to disease risk across large cohorts.
