A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology highlighted the importance of performing biopsy and advanced genetic analysis using a prognostic biomarker tool called 15-GEP/PRAME to customize follow-up screening protocols for patients with uveal melanoma, a form of eye cancer. Our own Dr. Timothy Fuller co-authored the article and served as a Principal Investigator for the trial. Texas Retina was also one of the largest recruiters for the study.

A very sad day. Thanks k you Dr. Weber for you ci tribulations and tireless effort treating melanoma. We are forever grateful.
Today is a very sad day for the oncology community. #Jeff_Weber wasn’t just a pioneer in cancer treatment and a brilliant scientist—though he was certainly both of those things. He was someone who brought passion and vision to everything he did, always pushing the boundaries of what was possible in cancer research with a relentless drive and curiosity that inspired everyone around him. Jeff was so much more than his work. He had a deep love for life, which shone through in his enthusiasm for fine wine, exquisite dining, and the joy he found in a good trivia challenge. His knowledge was vast, but it was his warmth and generosity that made him truly unforgettable. We will miss Jeff dearly—not just for his contributions to science, but for the friend and mentor he was to all of us. Thank you for all the memories, the scientific discussions, the agreements and differing opinions, the beers and singalongs in Munich, the private dinners, the guidance, and the help. Rest easy, Jeff. Your spirit and your work will live on in all of us.
