I had an incredible experience this summer working at the Duke Eye Center in collaboration with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) for my research fellowship. A special thank you to Dr. Majda Hadziahmetovic, who provided exceptional mentorship both in and out of the ophthalmology clinic. This opportunity allowed me to gain valuable insights into diabetic macular edema and the field of ophthalmology as a whole. I am excited to continue this work and look forward to pursuing future projects.
