Tomasz R Stryjewski, MD

I am grateful to be a member of the amazing Michels Fellowship community. I continue to split my time between seeing patients and trying to advance innovation in ophthalmology. Clinically, I see patients and operate as a vitreoretinal surgeon with Tallman Eye Associates, a small private practice north of Boston near the New Hampshire border.

In addition to clinical practice, I serve in a leadership role in multiple companies in which I was a cofounder: Pykus Therapeutics, Helio Vision (acquired by Aldeyra Therapeutics, Nasdaq: ALDX), and EyeCool Therapeutics. It has been a great adventure to lead translational development programs, from first-in-human trials to late stage Phase 3 registration studies. I also serve as an ad-hoc consultant or advisor to many other ophthalmic drug and device companies.

My wife (Katie) and son (Luke) live in the Prospect Hill neighborhood of Somerville. We enjoy spending the weekends hiking, swimming, sailing, and skiing in the beautiful outdoors of New England.
