Jolan joined the lab in 2021. She received her osteopathic medical degree in 2019 at Pacific Northwest University with a focus in underserved and global medicine, and later developed an interest in studying eye pathology. Her research focuses on translational projects that develop therapeutic solutions for retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, as well as rare diseases such as ADNIV. Jolan is proud to be a part of the Mahajan team and plans to emerge out of her training as an expert and educator to further inform and advance the field of ophthalmology - both scientifically and clinically.
