Johannes Birtel, MD, MBA

Dr. Birtel co-authored a paper on the largest study of NPHP1 retinal dystrophies (16 patients) while at Oxford Eye Hospital at Oxford University in the UK. Currently at University Medical Center at Hamburg-Eppendorf in his native Germany, he continues his work as an ophthalmologist and researcher. Dr. Birtel was one of the first scientists we contacted when we formed our foundation and he has been unfailingly available to us, for which we are eternally grateful.
