Christopher M. Aderman, MD

After graduating from fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital, I started as an associate at Eye Health Northwest in Portland, Oregon and I'm enjoying life and work in the Pacific Northwest.

I have long been interested in the adoption and application of technology to advance research and clinical care. In the lab prior to medical school, I studied confocal microscopy and methods to quantify neovascularization in a mouse retinopathy model. In residency, I led a collaboration with software developers using the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality head-mounted display, to test a treatment for amblyopia in adults and remotely monitor visual parameters. In fellowship, I was involved in several projects, including a translational collaboration testing a cell death pathway in retinal detachment and other retinal disorders. At EyeHealth Northwest, I helped start a clinical trials program which is growing quickly.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outside and enjoying nature, visiting national parks, traveling, cycling, golfing, and skiing.
