I would like to share with you through this website my work, activities, ideas, and passion. Some areas of the website may look like a CV, others like thanking specific people, and others like talking to myself. I hope you forgive me for what you do not like. I am working on building bridges between Medicine, Education, Research, and Informatics (.. even more fields 🙂 ) … Somewhere in the world, they need these bridges to talk and a patient may survive a minute (or more) longer (hopefully healthy)… My interests are Ophthalmology, Ocular Oncology, Pediatric Oncology, Health Informatics, Research Informatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, and eLearning. I am not a sort of talking guy on my website. You may need to fill gaps in between the words to get a full story here.
