BIO: Dr. Stephen G. Odaibo is a diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Retina specialist, Mathematician, Computer scientist, and Physicist. He is the only Retina specialist in the world with graduate degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science. Dr. Odaibo won the 2005 Barrie Hurwitz Award for Excellence in Clinical Neurology at Duke University School of Medicine where he topped the class in Neurology. He is Co-Founder of RETINA-AI, a company using Artificial Intelligence methods to develop better diagnostic tools for retinal diseases. In 2016 he delivered the Opening Keynote address at the Global Ophthalmologists Meeting in Osaka Japan, and the Inaugural Special Guest Lecture in Ophthalmology at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital Nigeria.
Dr. Odaibo obtained a B.S. in Mathematics (UAB, 2001), M.S. in Mathematics (UAB, 2002), M.S. in Computer Science (Duke, 2009), and Doctor of Medicine--MD (Duke, 2010). From 2004 to 2006, Dr. Odaibo was in the lab studying G-protein coupled receptors with Dr. Robert J. Lefkowitz, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Dr. Odaibo completed his Internship in Internal Medicine at Duke Univ. Hospital in 2011, his Residency in Ophthalmology at Howard Univ. Hospital in 2014, and his Fellowship in Medical Retina at the Univ. of Michigan-Kellogg Eye Center in 2015. He is author of the book, ``Quantum Mechanics and the MRI Machine'' (2012), and of the book "The Form of Finite Groups: A Course on Finite Group Theory" (2016).
In 2012 Dr. Odaibo was selected as a Featured Alumnus of the Math Department at UAB. In Oct 2011 his cornea paper was selected by MIT Technology Review as one of the best papers from Physics or Computer science submitted to the arXiv. In that paper, Dr. Odaibo provided the first quantitative demonstration of non-paraxial light bending in the human cornea.
Clinically, Dr. Odaibo focuses on caring for patients with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusions, retinal tears, and localized retinal detachments.
He loves God, his wife Lisa, his son Daniel, and his family and friends.
