A/Professor Jie Jin Wang is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Vision Research.

She graduated MBBS equivalent from Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences in China in 1978. In 1989 she undertook a MMed (Ophth Path) at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre, Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences in China, and in 1995 a MMed (Clin Epi) at the University of Sydney. In 2000 she completed a PhD at University of Sydney and in 2001 a MApplStat at Macquarie University.

Since 2005 she has been a NHMRC Senior Research fellow.

Research Interests

Jie Jin is an epidemiologist with research interest in the following areas:

The frequency, pathogenesis, risk factors and impacts of visual impairment and common age-related eye diseases including the four leading causes of blindness: age-related macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy;
The interplay of genetic and environmental factors on the pathogenesis of complex diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and age-related cataract;
The potential value of retinal imaging and retinal vascular signs as subclinical markers to be used to predict and monitor major systemic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
