Lane Ulrich

Lane Ulrich is a Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Regents University. He is a board-certified physician (PHY, GA Board of Medical Examiners, 1997) with active teaching responsibilities in ophthalmology courses and ongoing research in medical informatics applications for eye care.

Education

• MD in Medicine from Medical College of Georgia (1996)
• BS in Bio, General from Houghton College (1992)

Research Interests

Ulrich specializes in Medical Informatics for ophthalmic diagnostics, focusing on digital imaging and telemedicine solutions. His work bridges clinical practice with technological innovation, particularly in diabetic retinopathy screening and remote diagnosis of eye disorders. Earlier research explored molecular mechanisms of retinal degeneration using genetic mouse models.

Publication Trends

His 1990s publications reveal a clear trajectory from basic science (1993 rhodopsin study) to applied clinical informatics (1998 digital photography and telemedicine papers). The 1998 works demonstrate pioneering efforts in using technology for diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and remote eye care, establishing his focus on informatics-driven solutions in ophthalmology.
