Biography

Ryan McNabb is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Duke University. His research focuses on combining optical coherence tomography (OCT) with robotic technology in ophthalmology clinics. After completing his post-doctoral training as a lead Research Scientist under Dr. Anthony Kuo at the Duke Eye Center, he joined the faculty to engage closely with clinicians in integrating advanced technology into medical practice. McNabb is the principal investigator of a National Institutes of Health R21 grant aimed at developing an assistive robotically aligned OCT system for the precise localization of suspected retinal breaks in patients, enhancing early intervention for retinal detachment. He earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University and completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, mentored by Prof. Joseph Izatt. McNabb has received multiple grants for his work, focusing on advancing robotic imaging techniques to improve eye care.
