Timothy Isaacs

Timothy Isaacs is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia (UWA), affiliated with the UWA Medical School and the Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science (affiliated with the Lions Eye Institute). His research focuses on uveal melanoma, genetic architectures in eye diseases, and biomarkers for cancer detection and treatment response. He has contributed to global initiatives like the International AMD Genomics Consortium and collaborates internationally on oncology and genetic studies. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

Research Interests:

• Uveal Melanoma: Investigating metastasis, biomarkers, and clinical registries
• Genetic Studies: Genome-wide association analyses and genetic architecture of eye diseases
• Diagnostic Innovation: Developing circulating tumor DNA/cell technologies for early cancer detection

Recent articles highlight advancements in genetic studies of age-related macular degeneration, clinical registries for uveal melanoma, and biomarker-based detection strategies. His work has been cited widely and featured in high-impact journals like Nature Genetics and British Journal of Cancer.
