Carolyn K. Pan, MD
Clinical Professor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Pan is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained vitreoretinal surgeon. She focuses on retinal vascular diseases, macular degeneration, and surgical repair of retinal detachments, macular pathology, and complications from cataract surgery. She has co-authored peer-reviewed articles on topics ranging from optical coherence tomography imaging to embryonic stem cells for macular degeneration.
In addition to her clinical practice, she is dedicated to the education and training of medical students, residents, and fellows. As recognition of her efforts, she received the Faculty Teaching Award in 2016 from the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University and was the recipient of the national Women in Ophthalmology Educator Award in 2024. Within the department, she was the Associate Residency Program Director from 2020 to 2023, and currently serves as the Residency Program Director. Her educational efforts also extend beyond the department - since 2016, she has served on the annual meeting planning committee for the American Academy of Ophthalmology and is currently Associate Secretary of the Annual Meeting and Chair of the Special Projects Committee.
Dr. Pan's clinical practice is mainly based at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Stanford's affiliate county hospital, where she is chief of the retina service. -
Quinn Paulsen
Affiliate, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioQuinn Paulsen is an MD student at the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine (AWSOM) and a research affiliate in Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he works within the Byers Eye Institute at the intersection of clinical ophthalmology and artificial intelligence.
Working under the mentorship of vitreoretinal surgeon and assistant professor Chase A. Ludwig, MD, MS, Quinn's research applies machine learning to clinical and imaging data, with the goal of developing tools that can help predict disease risk and guide earlier, more targeted intervention.
Quinn graduated with distinction from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology. His undergraduate research spanned the labs of Professor Jue D. Wang (Department of Bacteriology), Associate Professor Daniel Amador-Noguez (Department of Bacteriology), and Professor Jean-Michel Ané (Departments of Bacteriology and Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences), as well as a collaboration with Professor Suckjoon Jun in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. This work in molecular biology, bacterial genetics, and physiology now shapes his approach to clinical ophthalmology.
