Farzan Abdolahi

Dr. Farzan Abdolahi is an Assistant Professor of Research Ophthalmology at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on developing cutting-edge imaging technologies for early diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and disorders with ophthalmic manifestations, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia. He aims to create clinically valuable retinal vascular imaging biomarkers to prevent blindness and visual impairment.

His work integrates vascular biology, neurodegenerative disease research, and biomedical engineering to advance diagnostic tools. Key areas include retinal perfusion's role in cognition, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and translational imaging systems for clinical use.

No scientific awards or advisory roles are explicitly stated in the provided text. His research emphasizes translating imaging innovations into clinical practice to address unmet medical needs in ophthalmology and related fields.
