About Jasmine Francis

Jasmine Francis

A clinician-scientist with many published papers and book chapters, Francis served as the primary investigator of a National Cancer Institute-funded study on The Cancer Genome Atlas for uveal melanoma. She received the 2014 Outstanding Poster Award from the ARVO, and she has presented at many national and international meetings. What does she feel will be the biggest game-changer in the next five years? “I predict a move towards personalized ophthalmic care that is driven by genetic evaluation, and tailored to specific genetic mutations.” And she advises those just starting out to, “Follow your heart as well as your mind.”

A nominator said: “Jasmine is developing new and effective ways to treat cancers of the eye in children and adults.”
