Author Biographies

Cindy M. L. Hutnik, MD, PhD, FRCSC

Dr. Cindy Hutnik is a full professor in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Pathology at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, at Western University, London, Ontario, Canada. Currently she is the President of the Canadian Glaucoma Society, Chair of the Governing Committee of the Academic Medical Organization of Southwestern Ontario and a member of the Board of Glaucoma Research Society of Canada. She has a keen interest in the development of novel and/or optimization of existing treatments for patients with glaucoma.

Michael T. Kryshtalskyj, MD

Dr. Michael Kryshtalskyj is a resident physician in ophthalmology at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine. He completed his medical studies at the University of Toronto, where he was awarded a longitudinal research studentship in Glaucoma and Advanced Anterior Segment Surgery with Dr. Ike Ahmed. Dr. Kryshtalskyj maintains an active interest in ophthalmologic research and has served as a reviewer for the Canadian Journals of Ophthalmology and Neurology. He is also active in global and rural health initiatives.

Kian M. Madjedi, MD, MPhil

Dr. Kian Madjedi is an ophthalmology resident at the University of Calgary. He completed his medical training at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. As a Rotary Scholar, he earned a Master’s degree in Epidemiology at the University of Cambridge (Clare College), where his dissertation examined genetic associations with glaucoma. He is an active member of several international research collaborations investigating polygenic risk scores and gene-environment associations in glaucoma using data from international biobanking efforts. He is interested in all aspects of glaucoma and in improving access to glaucoma screening and management for underserviced populations.

Andrew C. S. Crichton, MD, FRCSC

Dr. Andrew Crichton is Chief of Ophthalmology for Calgary and Clinical Professor at the University of Calgary. After graduating from medical school at the University of British Columbia, he did his ophthalmology residency in Toronto and his glaucoma fellowship in Vancouver with Dr. Stephen Drance and Dr. Gordon Douglas. Dr. Crichton has previously served as President of the Canadian Glaucoma Society, Secretary of the Canadian Ophthalmologic Society, and President of the Ophthalmology Society of Alberta.
