George W. Duncan, MD serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, maintaining clinical operations in Towson, MD.

Education:

• 1973: B.A. in Chemistry from Cornell University
• 1977: M.D. from University of Maryland School of Medicine
• 1977-1978: Internal Medicine Internship at Union Memorial Hospital
• 1978-1981: Ophthalmology Residency at Maryland General Hospital
• 1981-1982: Orbit and Oculoplastics Fellowship at Harkness Eye Institute

Research Focus: Dr. Duncan specializes in complex orbital pathologies with dual expertise in inflammatory conditions like sarcoidosis and infectious disease manifestations. His clinical investigations target rare presentations including extraocular muscle disorders and systemic bacterial infections affecting ocular structures. This niche concentration bridges oculoplastics with neuro-ophthalmology through detailed case analysis of vision-threatening complications.

Publication Trends: His scholarly output demonstrates consistent focus on unusual clinical presentations, particularly sarcoidosis-induced diplopia and multi-system bacterial infections. These case reports from the 1980-1990s established diagnostic frameworks for rare orbital inflammations and adult-onset H. influenzae complications, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to complex ophthalmic presentations.

Awards: No scientific awards or fellowships are documented in the provided materials.

Academic Activities: Current advising relationships, grant funding, or laboratory affiliations are not specified in available records. His ongoing adjunct role suggests continued clinical teaching contributions within the ophthalmology department.
