Professor Graeme Black - personal details

Graeme qualified in Medicine from Oxford and then undertook clinical training in Ophthalmology and Medical Genetics. He is now Professor of Genetics and Ophthalmology Central Manchester and Manchester Children's University Hospitals NHS Trust.

During training he undertook at DPhil with Professor Ian Craig in the Department of Biochemistry in Oxford, studying the genetics of X-linked inherited ophthalmic disease. It was this period that enabled Graeme to develop my combined subspecialty interests.

Having moved to Manchester in 1995 Graeme became a Wellcome Trust Clinician Scientist Fellow in 1997. He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship in Clinical Science in 2002 to focus on functional analyses of recently identified genes, defining their role in normal development as well as in the disorders studied.

Graeme's research interests centre on inherited disorders that are associated with visual disability and blindness, their causes and their management.
