Tony Moore

Tony Moore is the Duke Elder Professor of Ophthalmology at the Institute of Ophthalmology, UCL London. He has honorary consultant appointments at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Hospital for Children ,Great Ormond Street, London where he has his clinical practice. He is Director of the Paediatric Ophthalmology Service at Moorfields Eye Hospital.

His main research interests are in inherited eye disease particularly those affecting the retina

Scientifc Interest

My main scientific interests are in investigating the molecular genetic basis of inherited eye disease and in investigating the associated disease phenotype. The long term aim of this research is to develop novel therapies for this group of disorders which are currently not amenable to treatment.
