Xi Chen MD, PhD

Dr. Xi Chen is dedicated to being a clinician-scientist who provides great medical and surgical care to patients with vitreoretinal diseases, with a research focus in retinal neurovascular development and disease. Her current research interest is studying human retinal and vascular development and their coordination using advanced imaging techniques.

Dr. Chen's basic science training in neural development gives her a unique perspective in her research in human retinal neurovascular development and disease. She hopes to eventually bring the information gathered from the bedside back to the laboratory in order to develop strategies to improve care of premature infants, and pediatric and adult patients with retinal vascular diseases.
