Fresh off the press 📣 Our new paper in Retina summarizes a normative database for CVI— a biomarker than can potentially be used as a screening tool for neurodegenerative diseases, retinal pathology, and more.

[iMIND @iMIND_Research]

In the @RetinaJournal the iMIND team has shown that CVI is a durable metric across several demographic factors and presence of hypertension and/or cardiac disease. https://t.co/1sBAlcgC91 @dukeeyecenter

Thank you for the feature @DukeSurgery ! I’ve had so much fun co-leading the ASPIRES program with @RZasloff (MS2) Giussepe Yanez (MS3+) and Michael Mensah-Mamfo (MS2). Couldn’t do it without our faculty advisor @CoryJVatsaas

In 2021 #DukeSurgery launched ASPIRES, a mentorship program for first-year @DukeMedSchool students who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM). As the program celebrates the end of its 3rd year, participants and leadership share what makes it so impactful.
