Luke (Jin Kyun) Oh, MD

I am honored and grateful to join the Michels Fellowship Foundation family. I grew up in Seoul, South Korea, and attended Cornell University. I completed my medical degree at SUNY Downstate, followed by a research fellowship and ophthalmology residency at Columbia University. I am currently completing my vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Throughout my training, I have been fortunate to have extraordinary mentors whose guidance and support have shaped my career and the physician I aspire to be.

My academic interests include inherited retinal degenerations, clinical trial endpoints, surgical and medical outcomes in complex vitreoretinal disease, and ophthalmic education. I hope to build a career that combines vitreoretinal surgery, clinical research, and the development of new therapies for patients with inherited retinal disease.

Outside of ophthalmology, I cherish time spent with my wonderful partner, friends, and family.
