Welcome to the Proctor Medical Group Uveitis Clinic at the Proctor Foundation, where we are dedicated to advancing our understanding and treatment of uveitis—an inflammatory eye condition that affects the uvea, (the middle layer of the eye). Uveitis can lead to vision loss if not promptly diagnosed and managed, making our research vital in improving patient outcomes.
At UCSF, our interdisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians is at the forefront of uveitis investigation. By exploring the intricate interactions between the immune system and the uveal tissues, including the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, we aim to uncover novel therapeutic targets and innovative approaches.
Our research encompasses various areas such as genetics, immunology, molecular biology, and advanced imaging techniques. Through international collaborations and cutting-edge technologies, we seek to develop personalized treatments that cater to the diverse needs of uveitis patients.
Clinical research is fundamental to our mission as well. Conducting rigorous trials, we evaluate the safety and efficacy of new therapies, striving to bring evidence-based treatments to the forefront of uveitis management.
At UCSF, we place the patients at the heart of our research. By fostering a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge-sharing between patients, caregivers, researchers, and clinicians, we aim to make a meaningful impact on those affected by uveitis.
Join us on this journey of discovery as we work tirelessly to deepen our understanding of uveitis and its underlying mechanisms. Together, let us envision a future where uveitis is better understood and effectively managed, and its impact on patient's lives is minimized. We appreciate your support in our pursuit of a world without uveitis."
