Background
Jeff Mumm, Ph.D., is the Helen Larson & Charles Glenn Grover Professor in Ophthalmology and an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute. He also holds Associate Professor positions in the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Department of Neuroscience, and the Center for Nanomedicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His areas of research include retinal regeneration, retinal circuitry and drug discovery. In his lab, he utilizes zebrafish to study the formation of neural circuits in the retina, as well as the regenerative capabilities of retinal cells, with the goal of developing better drugs to treat retinal diseases.
Dr. Mumm received his B.S. in biology from the University of Iowa and his Ph.D. in neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Washington University, focusing on neural circuit formation in the retina. He previously served as the president and research director of Luminomics in St. Louis, MO, and as an assistant professor of cellular biology and anatomy at Georgia Regents University before joining the Wilmer faculty in 2014.
Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
