Anthony B Daniels, MD, MSc

I am an assistant professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Cancer Biology, and Radiation Oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Director of Ocular Oncology at the Vanderbilt Eye Institute.

In addition to general medical and surgical retina, my practice focuses on the treatment of ocular tumors in adults and children. My research focuses on drug discovery for retinoblastoma using a rabbit model we developed for endovascular, direct intra-ophthalmic artery and intravitreal drug delivery. In addition, I am working to develop non-invasive, optical methods of intraocular tumor diagnosis and molecular prognostication, as well as new, vision-sparing treatments for melanoma. My research is currently supported by 7 active NEI and foundation grants, and I was named an "Emerging Vision Scientist" by the Association for Eye and Vision Research.

My wife and I are expecting our second child in October 2017.
