William R. Freeman, M.D.

Professor and Director of the Jacobs Retina Center at the UCSD Shiley Eye Center


William R. Freeman, M.D. is an internationally acclaimed scientific researcher and Director of the Jacobs Retina Research Center, adjoining the UCSD Shiley Eye Center. The clinical research center at the Jacobs Center will enable patients to benefit from the latest advances in diagnostic equipment and therapies. Researchers working in the Center's laboratories will focus on advancing promising therapies for macular degeneration, tumors, inherited retinal disease, retinal detachment, macular holes, and other important retinal diseases.

Dr. Freeman is Professor of Ophthalmology at UCSD and has built a clinical and research enterprise of excellence since he came to UCSD in 1986. The new Jacobs Retina Center has allowed him to continue to build a research team dedicated to attacking retinal diseases that cause blindness and vision loss.

The center includes a clinical research center where new drugs and surgical and medical therapies are used in patients with serious retinal problems. This dedicated free standing center is immediately adjoining the Shiley Eye center at UCSD and allows patients to benefit from new resources not previously available. This is done in a state of the art building and in an extremely comfortable environment for the patients and their families.

The clinical research staff includes Denie Cochran, director as well as Michelle Stittman, Nicole Regan and other clinical trials coordinators who help patients choose from and participate in a variety of new treatments including those developed at UCSD and from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

The research group is divided into the modalities indicated below. Each research module, is directed by a principal investigator, or two or more co-investigators. These individuals work in the Jacobs Retina Center and also collaborate with or run laboratories elsewhere on the UCSD campus. They collaborate with the most innovative biotechnology companies in San Diego. This web site highlights these laboratories and individuals.
