Background
Dr. Malia Edwards is a researcher at the Wilmer Eye Institute with a particular focus on retinal gila and their roles in vascular development and disease.
Dr. Edwards’ interest in glia began during graduate school studying the effect oxidative stress and inflammation exert on astrocytes. As a post-doctoral fellow at The Jackson Laboratory, Dr. Edwards cloned and characterized a mouse mutant, Lama1, with abnormal retinal vasculature and astrocyte development. She joined Dr. Lutty’s lab to expand her knowledge of retinal vascular development and has since continued studying vascular development in the Lama1 mice and in a mouse which lacks ganglion cells, Math5.
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.
