Dr. Shankar’s clinical focus is the medical and surgical care of cataracts and adult glaucoma, including premium lenses and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Dr. Shankar’s research and professional interests include ophthalmic public health, biomedical devices, and digital health. He has a particular interest in the intersection of entrepreneurship, public health, and ophthalmology, aiming to find innovative solutions that will impact millions of patients.
Dr. Shankar has published research on lung cancer metastasis to the optic nerve, pharmacologic therapies in glaucoma, and surgical outcomes with a novel glaucoma device. He has also delivered presentations nationwide on topics including screening rates for diabetic retinopathy based on insurance type and socioeconomic factors, Medicaid expansion, and health disparities.
Dr. Shankar completed a combined MD/MPH at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. He earned the Albert F. Koetter, MD Scholarship; Dean’s Research Fellowship; and Jonathan Mann Fellowship as a medical student. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He subsequently completed his fellowship in glaucoma at the Stanford Byers Eye Institute.
Dr. Shankar is the cofounder of a seed-stage ophthalmic medical device startup that aims to improve patient safety and mitigate the environmental impact of eye care worldwide.
Dr. Shankar is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. -

Lucy Shapiro
Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsA basic question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. Our goal is to define these mechanisms using both molecular genetics and biochemistry.
