Hello there, this is Thales, your host! I know, I know… I should have warned you to put on sunglasses to appreciate all that brightness radiating out of my shiny head surface. That's genetics hitting too close to home!

Anyway, I am a medical doctor, PhD and clinician scientist working at Moorfields Eye Hospital. My expertise is ophthalmology, clinical research, gene therapies and inherited retinal diseases. Author/co-author of more than 40 peer-reviewed research papers, abstracts and book chapters published in high impact journals or presented in conferences. Passionate about music, sports and all things science.

Science communicator by heart, one of my personal goals is to make science more accessible to the public. Welcome to Eyes On Research!
