معرفی
Dr. Corey Smith is an Assistant Professor at Dalhousie University, holding dual affiliations with the School of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences. He is the QEII Foundation Scholar in Retina Research. His primary research focuses on advancing ophthalmic imaging techniques, particularly optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), to improve diagnostics and monitoring of retinal diseases like glaucoma. Dr. Smith emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and balancing experimental methods with clinical relevance.
Research interests include medical imaging innovation, image analysis methodologies, and animal models of ophthalmic diseases. His work combines experimental imaging, clinical data analysis, and histology correlations to refine retinal disease understanding. Recent studies explore OCT-A for detecting early glaucoma changes, drug effects on retinal perfusion, and longitudinal imaging variability.
Key awards include the QEII Foundation Scholarship. Dr. Smith advises graduate students in biomedical engineering and medical sciences, fostering a diverse research team. He collaborates with patient partners to ensure research aligns with clinical needs. His lab is part of the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
