Forskningsbeskrivning

  • Dr. Grudzinska Pechhacker has been staff ophthalmologist since 2016. Her
    career focuses on inherited eye disorders with emphasis on inherited retinal
    conditions. She is passionately dedicated to improve diagnostics and
    management strategies for patients with genetic eye disorders. She was
    further trained in clinical visual electrophysiology (Moorfields Eye
    Hospital, UK) and recently underwent one year structured fellowship in Ocular
    Genetics and Electrophysiology under supervision of Prof. Elise Heon and Dr.
    Ajoy Vincent at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and University of
    Toronto, Canada. Dr. Grudzinska Pechhacker's goal is to establish a program
    providing a comprehensive assessment, genetic testing and counseling of
    patients affected with inherited eye disorders with focus on conditions when
    clinical genetic testing did not identify the disease-causing variant(s).
