Lucie Y Guo, MD, PhD

I am honored to join the Michels family! I went to undergrad at Harvard, then obtained my MD/PhD at UPenn, where I completed a PhD in chromatin epigenetics in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. I completed my ophthalmology residency at Stanford via the integrated research ("SOAR") pathway, where I led collaborative projects in CRISPR genome engineering with the Department of Bioengineering. I stayed at Stanford for my vitreoretinal surgery fellowship, and I am grateful to have worked with world-class clinical and research mentors throughout my training.

I am passionate about providing excellent medical and surgical care for retina patients, and developing ambitious strategies for ocular gene therapy, such as building "smart" gene therapy that could respond to disease states.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful friends and family, especially chasing my two overly energetic boys (ages 8 and 4).
