Kevin Chuen Wing Chan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he directs the Neuroimaging Visual Science Laboratory. His research focuses on developing and applying new, non-invasive imaging methods to investigate neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration related to vision-related diseases and injuries. Dr. Chan leads projects funded by various federal grants that utilize structural, metabolic, physiological, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to explore eye and brain health in human and animal models afflicted by glaucoma and visual impairments. His research team combines optical coherence tomography with advanced MRI techniques and neuromodulation and psychophysical assessments to study the interplay between the eye, brain, and behavior, aiming to guide strategies for vision preservation and restoration. Chan has received numerous awards for his contributions, including the ARVO Gold Fellow designation, and he continues to engage in a series of professional organizations that contribute to advancements in the field.
