Bo Wang, MD, PhD, is a fellow in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus at the Duke Eye Center. He received his bachelor of science (summa cum laude) degree in bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. He completed his medical and PhD training at the University of Pittsburgh, where he worked with Dr. Joel Schuman, MD, on optic nerve head imaging in glaucoma. He then moved to Baltimore, where he was a resident at the Wilmer Eye Institute – Johns Hopkins prior to beginning his fellowship. His PhD work has improved our understanding of how glaucoma affects the lamina cribrosa, a collagenous meshwork in the optic nerve head that is hypothesized to be the primary site of glaucoma damage. He has published extensively on these topics and received awards at national and international conferences. His long-term research interests include the application of medical image analysis and non-invasive imaging to improve the care of children.
