CME: ADVANCING HEALTH AND LONGEVITY BY ANALYZING THE RETINA WITH MANJOT GILL, MD

One of the many ways the Human Longevity Laboratory at Feinberg is studying aging is through the lens of the retina. Manjot Gill, MD, a Northwestern Medicine retina specialist, explains the unique multi-disciplinary approach of the lab and how she is using AI in retinal imaging to predict biological age and help validate interventions that may slow aging. She is vice chair of clinical performance in the Department of Ophthalmology and Professor of Ophthalmology and Medical Education.
“The retina is an extension of the brain. It has similar embryologic backgrounds as brain tissue. And so, we may be able to gather insights about brain health by imaging the retina and looking at the various layers of the retina as well as the vasculature of the retina, and seeing if that is a reflection of what may be happening in blood vessels within the brain.”
