Three New Faculty Members Join Eye Center in <strong>2011</strong> | 18 | New Faculty Welcomed
Within just a three-week period in August and September, the <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Eye Center faculty grew by three new clinical faculty members, the first time in 20 years that more than one new faculty member has joined the department in a single year. Drs. Nandini Gandhi, Khizer Khaderi and Jennifer Li were officially welcomed to the Eye Center with a reception in their honor on Thursday, October 6th, by Dr. Claire Pomeroy, <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Vice-Chancellor for Human <strong>Health</strong> Science, and Dr. Mark Mannis, Professor and Chair, <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Eye Center. With degrees and training acquired at some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, they bring unique insights and capabilities to their new careers at <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong>. Nandini Gandhi, M.D., Assistant Professor Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Dr. Gandhi joins the <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Eye Center faculty after completing her fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus at the Duke University Eye Center. Her commitment to academic medicine is born of her interest in teaching and medical education, and she is also interested in international ophthalmology and curriculum development abroad. Her current clinical interests include comprehensive pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. Khizer Khaderi, M.D., Assistant Professor Neuro-Ophthalmology Dr. Khaderi joins the <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Eye Center Neuro-Ophthalmology Service after completing a Neuro- Ophthalmology Fellowship at the Doheny Eye Institute of the University of Southern California. Dr. Khaderi will provide patient care and resident education, and his research focuses will be on genetic diseases of the optic nerve and visual psychophysics. He owns several patents related to retinal ganglion expression and visual software algorithms. Jennifer Li, M.D., Assistant Professor, Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery Dr. Li is a specialist in cornea, external disease and refractive surgery, and she received her medical degree and completed residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She is familiar to <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> ophthalmology patients because she completed her ophthalmology fellowship at <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> just a year ago, and she returns to the Eye Center after a year in practice at the Devers Eye Institute, Portland, Oregon. Her research on corneal surgery, including endothelial keratoplasty and keratoprosthesis surgery, has been presented nationally and internationally. The <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong> Eye Center and all of the University community welcome these outstanding young ophthalmologists to the faculty. Drs. Gandhi, Khaderi and Li are pictured on the cover of this issue of enVision Magazine. <strong>Fall</strong>/Winter <strong>2011</strong> www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/eyecenter | 19 |
