معرفی
Anne B. Fulton, MD, is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Pediatric Medical Retinal Service at Boston Children's Hospital. She holds dual roles in clinical practice and research, focusing on pediatric ophthalmology and retinal disorders. Her affiliations include the Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard and leadership in the Precision Medicine Service.
Dr. Fulton earned her MD from Tufts University School of Medicine, followed by residency at Yale University School of Medicine. Her research emphasizes retinal development, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and genetic eye disorders. She pioneered non-invasive assessments like visual electrophysiology and adaptive optics imaging to study pediatric vision.
Her research interests span retinal degeneration mechanisms, photoreceptor maturation, and inherited retinal diseases. Over 30 years of NIH-funded work has led to breakthroughs in understanding rhodopsin's role in visual development and ROP pathophysiology. Recent studies include algorithm validation for ROP diagnosis and genetic basis of retinal dystrophies.
Dr. Fulton’s articles highlight advancements in ROP treatment protocols, genetic syndromes (e.g., Bardet-Biedl), and adaptive imaging techniques. Though no named awards are listed, her sustained NIH funding underscores her research impact. She advises on NIH grants and collaborates with teams at Boston Children's Hospital’s Infant Vision Laboratory.
Labs/Teams: Infant Vision Laboratory, Precision Medicine Service. Her work bridges clinical care and translational research to improve outcomes for pediatric retinal patients.
