Languages Spoken: English, German

Steffen Schmitz-Valckenberg, MD, specializes in clinical and surgical treatment of macular and retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and is an expert in high-resolution retinal imaging.

Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg co-founded and directed the Grading of Digital Fundus Examination Reading Center at the University of Bonn, Germany, where he was the Department of Ophthalmology’s assistant medical director. As an expert in high-resolution retinal and fundus autofluorescence imaging, he has used various imaging techniques to map the stages of decline in AMD. Researchers worldwide use this mapping to measure outcomes during interventional clinical trials.

At Moran, Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg is directing an ophthalmic image reading center that will play a key role in the Sharon Eccles Steele Center for Translational Medicine's drive to take a new therapy for a prevalent form of AMD into clinical trials.

Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg holds a Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Chair at the University of Utah and is a prolific researcher with more than 165 publications and 120 peer-reviewed articles. His honors include being named by The Ophthalmologist to its Power List 2017: Top 50 Rising Stars.
