Through this website, I would like to share my work, activities, ideas, and passion. My aim is to recruit different technologies and methods to improve the understanding of eye diseases. I am working on building bridges between Medicine, Education, Research, and Informatics (.. even more fields 🙂 ) … Somewhere in the world, they need these bridges to talk and a patient may survive a minute (or more) longer (hopefully healthy) or introduce innovative solutions … My interests are Ophthalmology, Ocular Oncology, Pediatric Oncology, Health Informatics, Research Informatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, and eLearning.
