Dr. David A. Sullivan MS PhD FARVO
(USA)
Until recently, I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and a Senior Scientist at the Schepens Eye Research Institute (Boston, MA, USA). During my 38 years at those institutions, my research focused on
the interrelationships between sex, sex steroids and dry eye disease, as well as on the role of lubricin on the ocular surface. My studies involved basic, clinical, epidemiological and translational aspects and led to authorship on over 260 scientific
articles and 15 patents. I was awarded numerous research grants from the National Institutes of Health, and served as a preceptor for 34 postdoctoral fellows. I am also a Founder, recent President, and current Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society (TFOS), a non-profit organization, which was created to advance the research, literacy, and educational aspects of the scientific field of the tear film and ocular surface throughout the world. I have organized
9 International Conferences, overseen the awarding of more than 225 Young Investigator Awards, and organized the TFOS International Workshops on Dry Eye (“DEWS”), Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, Contact Lens Discomfort, DEWS II and, most recently, "The
Lifestyle Epidemic: Ocular Surface Disease. These global Workshops have involved the efforts of 60 to 158 scientific and clinical experts, each required 2 to 3 years to complete, and all led to the publication of major reports. Through TFOS I have
helped to promote increased international awareness of external eye diseases, enhance governmental funding for tear film and ocular surface research, stimulate the development of therapeutic drugs and diagnostic devices, and influence the design and
conduct of clinical trials of novel treatments for ocular surface disorders.
