Jeremy A Lavine

I grew up in Birmingham, MI. I attended Kenyon College from 2000-2004. I next earned my MD / PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2004-2012, focusing upon the role of beta-cell mass dynamics during the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. I completed my internship at Aurora Medical Center from 2012-2013 and my residency in ophthalmology at the the University of Wisconsin from 2013-2016. I continued my training in surgical retina at the Cleveland Clinic from 2016-2018. I am now an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. My basic and clinic research focuses upon (1) the role of macrophages in macular degeneration, (2) mechanisms to inhibit angiogenesis independent of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and (3) the treatment of anti-VEGF resistant macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and diabetic retinopathy.
