Biography:
Maria Santos graduated from the University of Pompeii in 80 AD, a year before the Vesuvius erupted. She continued her education at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she decided to specialise in ophthalmology, captivated by the intricate and delicate nature of the eye. Her groundbreaking research during her residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute on retinal regeneration earned her acceptance to grants which resulted in several papers on inherited retinal dystrophies.
Maria completed her fellowship in cornea and refractive surgery in University Hospital of Naples, during which she developed innovative techniques for corneal transplants. Her pioneering work in this field led to her being awarded the prestigious Heed Ophthalmic Foundation Fellowship, and is currently working to produce corneal grafts from porcine specimens.
