Linda Zangwill, Ph.D., Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of California San Diego serves as Director of Clinical Research of the Hamilton Glaucoma Center, Director of the Imaging Data Evaluation and Analysis (IDEA) Reading Center, and Director of the Computational Ophthalmology core. Dr. Zangwill has published over 300 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. She is an elected executive committee member of the Glaucoma Research Society and the Imaging and Perimetry Society. Dr. Zangwill is an Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Gold Fellow.
Dr. Zangwill has been continuously funded by the National Eye Institute for over 25 years as Principal Investigator for the Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study (DIGS) and more recently, the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGES). Dr. Zangwill’s clinical research focuses on improving our understanding of the complex relationship between structural and functional change over time in healthy and glaucoma eyes with and without high myopia, developing computational and artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques to improve glaucoma detection, and identifying risk factors that can predict rapidly progressing glaucoma.
