Blake Hauser, MD, PhD, is currently a resident in ophthalmology at Mass Eye and Ear. She graduated from the Health Sciences and Technology track at Harvard Medical School while also earning a PhD in Biophysics through the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program. Her doctoral work focused on protein engineering and structural virology, and this was funded by an NIH F30 award. She has a longstanding research interest in understanding the molecular basis of human disease, which she first pursued as a Morehead-Cain Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later as a Churchill Scholar at the University of Cambridge. Currently, she works with Dr. Rossin on leveraging analysis of protein structures to obtain increased insight into the genetic basis of inherited retinal diseases, in parallel with her clinical training in ophthalmology.
