Robyn Guymer is a Professor of Ophthalmology at University of Melbourne and deputy director of the Centre for Eye Research Australia. She is also a senior retinal specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. She is a clinician scientist who leads a team of 20 researchers primarily investigating Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). She has investigated genetic and environmental risk factors for AMD, predictors of response to treatments for late AMD, as well as being a principal investigator in many industry sponsored trials.

Professor Guymer is on several advisory boards, is the clinical program leader and on the scientific leadership team of Bionic Vision Australia and is part of the Mactel consortium and Beckman AMD initiative in the USA. She is currently investigating new strategies for treating early stage disease with a nanosecond laser and is working to identify novel imaging and functional biomarkers and surrogate endpoints to allow efficacy of interventions to be determined. She is a member of the Macular Society and a founding fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.

Professor Guymer was awarded the NHMRC’s 2016 Elizabeth Blackburn Fellowship for the top ranked female research fellowship in clinical medicine (Principal Research Fellowship).
