Short Bio:Claude Burgoyne, MD is a Glaucoma clinician scientist, Van Buskirk Chair for Ophthalmic Research and Director of the Optic Nerve Head Research Laboratory at the Legacy Devers Eye Institute in Portland, Oregon. After an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture and Medical School at the University of Minnesota, he pursued Ophthalmology residency training at the University of Pittsburgh and Glaucoma Fellowship training at the Wilmer Eye Institute at the Johns Hopkins Hospitals in Baltimore, MD. For twelve years he was Director of Glaucoma Services at the LSU Eye Center in New Orleans before moving to Devers in 2005. |
Publication Highlights:The optic nerve head as a biomechanical structure: a new paradigm for understanding the role of IOP-related stress and strain in the pathophysiology of glaucomatous optic nerve head damage. The connective tissue phenotype of glaucomatous cupping in the monkey eye - Clinical and research implications. From clinical examination of the optic disc to clinical assessment of the optic nerve head: a paradigm change. A biomechanical paradigm for axonal insult within the optic nerve head in aging and glaucoma. The morphological difference between glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. |

Research Focus:For the past 20 years the Devers Eye Institute Optic Nerve Head Research Laboratory (ONHRL) has been NIH funded to study the effects of aging and experimental glaucoma on the neural and connective tissues of the monkey optic nerve head within 3D histomorphometric reconstructions. This work now extends to studying the cell biology of connective tissue remodeling and axonal insult early in the disease.Building upon its 3D capabilities, the ONHRL is also funded to use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to phenotype the deep tissues of the monkey and human optic nerve head and peripapillary sclera. This work has contributed to a paradigm change in how human patients who have glaucoma or are at risk for developing the disease are imaged using OCT. |
