Stadtman Investigator
Clinical and Translational Imaging Unit
National Eye Institute
United States of America
Dr. Tam received a bachelor’s degree in bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego, followed by a Ph.D. in bioengineering from a joint program administered by the University of California, San Francisco and the University of California, Berkeley. His graduate studies, under the mentorship of Austin Roorda, focused on developing noninvasive microvascular imaging tools to study diabetic retinopathy. He then went on to pursue postdoctoral training in the lab of Melike Lakadamyali, working on stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), a superresolution technique. Dr. Tam was recently named a Stadtman Investigator, where he and his staff are working on clinical applications of adaptive optics.
