Incoming Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology

Thrilled to share that I will be joining Stanford University as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and retina specialist at Byers Eye Institute at Stanford!   I’m excited to return to my alma mater and incredibly grateful to my mentors, collaborators, and countless others who made this possible. Thank you also to the Burroughs Wellcome Fund for supporting the launch of my lab: https://lnkd.in/gVZDSrNg   Alongside my research, I'll be caring for patients as a retina specialist. I’m indebted to the world-class clinicians at Massachusetts Eye and Ear for preparing me for this privilege.   My lab will open September 2026 and aims to accelerate the development of safe and effective genetic therapies. We are now hiring at all levels – please see seanwanglab.org and reach out if you are interested in joining or collaborating on the next generation of gene therapies and RNA medicines!
