Dr. Christopher Murphy has appointments in the School of Medicine’s Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, and the School of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences. In the clinic, Dr. Murphy brings expertise in exotic animal ophthalmology and medical and surgical management of corneal disease. His research interests include 1) modulation of cell behaviors by biophysical cues, with relevance to the design of improved cell culture ware, surgical implants and understanding disease processes; 2) engineering-inspired approaches to “engineer” a wound bed to promote healing; 3) optical performance in animals that evolved in response to challenging environmental conditions.
