Yohei Tomita is a senior staff scientist at the ophthalmology department in Boston Children’s Hospital and a visiting instructor at the ophthalmology department in Keio University School of Medicine.
Dr. Tomita graduated in medicine from Shimane University in Japan. He completed his ophthalmology residency, retinal fellowship, and earned his Ph.D. at Keio University School of Medicine. Then he joined at Ophthalmology department at Harvard Medical School, Boston Children’s Hospital as a research fellow. He is the recipient of the Bert M. Glaser, MD Award for Innovative Research in Retina (2021), the Young Investigator Award (2020) in Japan Ophthalmology Society, and the Young Investigator Grant Award (2020) in Alcon Research Institute. He is also a review editor and a guest editor for several journals.
Dr. Tomita is also now developing a new instrument that can measure mitochondrial function in the retina in vivo using Raman spectroscopy as well as a similar instrument using microfluidics and Raman to interrogate mitochondrial function.
