Wilmer Precision Ophthalmology Center of Excellence

About Our Work

Vision
Harness the power of artificial intelligence, multimodal ophthalmic imaging and big data to provide previously-unavailable stratification, prognostication and treatment recommendations for patients with ophthalmic diseases.

Mission
Usher in an era of personalized ophthalmic care and transform the field of ophthalmology using artificial intelligence.

Research Aims for Precision Medicine

Questions we're asking that inform us on how to best care for patients include:

Risk Predictions

Can we develop an algorithm that provides fine-grained predictions for conversion to wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients with dry AMD?

Treatment Recommendations

Can we identify the optimal intravitreal anti-VEGF medication for patients with retinal vascular diseases at treatment initiation?
