Dr. David Zacks Receives the Kreissig Award
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Foundation recognized David Zacks, M.D., Ph.D., with the 2023 Kreissig Award for Excellence in Retinal Surgery.
The Edna H. Perkiss Research Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Kellogg, Dr. Zacks’ research focuses on understanding the molecular pathways responsible for cell death and developing novel strategies for thwarting the damage they cause in retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and inherited retinal degenerations.
“I’m honored to receive this recognition from the ARVO Foundation,” says Dr. Zacks. “It’s a career highlight, and validation for 20-plus years of teamwork seeking solutions for patients with retinal diseases. It’s also testament to an environment at Kellogg that encourages collaboration and celebrates the pursuit of big ideas.”
