Leonard Levin
Academic title(s):
Professor
Department:
Neurology & Neurosurgery
Ophthalmology and Visual Science
Areas of expertise:
Dr. Levin’s laboratory studies computational approaches to problems in the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of neuro-ophthalmic diseases, using quantitative methods to gain insight into disease processes and health care. Examples include:
- Patient-level Markov chain simulation modeling of the progression of diabetic retinopathy in Quebec, in order to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various screening methodologies.
- Simulation of the spread of variance in the drug development process, in order to calculate the powering of translational studies B.
- Modeling the diffusion of superoxide anion in the optic nerve of patients with a mitochondrial DNA mutation.
