Arthur Brant, MD

I am deeply honored to join the Ronald G. Michels Fellowship Foundation family. I am grateful to my mentors and my father, a former mentee of Dr. Michels, who have profoundly shaped every step of my career. I completed my undergraduate degree in computer science, medical degree, and ophthalmology residency at Stanford before beginning a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at Mass Eye and Ear. I also spent eight years at Google as a software engineer and researcher.

I co-founded Zero Blind Babies, which performs more than 400 ROP examinations weekly across Ghana, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. We built a web-based platform supporting ROP programs in Syria, with expansion to additional countries underway. My career will focus on expanding access to ROP care until every NICU in the world can provide babies with the standard of care.

Outside of medicine, I cherish time with my wife, daughter, family, and close friends.
