Dr. Thuy Doan obtained her MD at Stanford University and her PhD in Neurobiology & Behavior at the University of Washington, Seattle. She completed her ophthalmology residency and uveitis fellowship at the University of Washington. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where she takes care of patients with ocular surface and intraocular inflammatory diseases. Dr. Doan also runs a metagenomic epidemiology laboratory that utilizes innovative technical approaches and randomized controlled trials to understand how human microbiomes (ocular, gut, and upper respiratory tract) respond to clinically relevant perturbations. In addition, her group uses genomic methods to efficiently identify infectious agents and biomarkers for ocular inflammatory diseases. The team is highly collaborative and works extensively with international partners and investigators. Her research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH-NEI), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Research to Prevent Blindness, the Huang Foundation, and All May See.
