Alumni/ae
Scientists trace their lineages, drawing lines of connection from mentor to trainee. These lines, when seen together, tell a story. A mentor’s passion for discovery infects the next generation, creating the conditions necessary for major breakthroughs. Count the many eminent scientists and clinicians who trace their scientific lineage to Schepens Eye Research Institute, and one sees the connections between discoveries that before may have seemed completely unrelated; we’re at the epicenter of innovation in vision research, a home to global leaders who have shaped the conversation about new treatments, therapies and cures for more than 50 years.
