RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Research forms an important aspect of professional development. I have been involved with research in Retinal diseases, Ocular pathology, Uveal diseases and Uveitis and Retinopathy of Prematurity since my residency days. I was the principal investigator in prospective trial analyzing the retinal and choroidal structure in healthy eyes using swept-source OCTA.

I joined Doheny Eye Institute in 2018 and have been actively involved with high quality research related to Ophthalmic Imaging with Dr SriviVas R Sadda, and have co-authored many publications.

Many related recent publications include research related to ultra-wide field imaging, optical coherence tomography, OCT angiography etc.
