Scientist Highlight:
Patricia Era Bath was an American ophthalmologist and an alumnus from our very own Hunter college. She was the first female member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute, the first woman to lead a post-graduate training program in ophthalmology, and the first woman elected to the honorary staff of the UCLA Medical Center.
She made multiple discoveries related to laser eye surgery and predictive mathematical models for cancer cell growth. A true pioneer!
