(February 12, 2008 - Insidermedicine) Welcome to Insidermedicine's If I Knew Then, where we learn from the collective wisdom of clinicians and researchers in medicine.

On a recent trip to Boston, we caught up with Dr. Reza Dana, MD, MSc, MPH, who is the Director of the Cornea Service at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Dana is a clinician-scientist who, as an ophthalmologist and an immunologist, has a particular interest in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of inflammation as they pertain to ocular surface and anterior segment pathologies, including dry eye, allergy, wound healing responses, and transplant rejection.
