In this episode, I chat with Dr. David Wu MD PhD, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University's Wilmer Eye Institute. Dr. Wu is a vitreoretinal surgeon and scientist who balances making breakthroughs in gene therapy related to retinal disease, and training fellows in dealing with complex retinal surgery. We talk about his journey in the field from an early interest in research, his approach to teaching and mentorship, how he overcame any doubts about himself in his career, and how his kids are keeping him busy these days.
