Giulia Corradetti, MD

Giulia Corradetti, MD, is a Doheny Scientist at Doheny Image Reading and Research Lab (DIRRL), mentored by SriniVas R Sadda, MD. She received her medical degree (MD) at the University of Bologna (Italy), and Ophthalmology Residency training at the Scientific Institute San Raffaele in Milan (Italy). Subsequently, she completed a fellowship in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus at the Wright Foundation in Los Angeles, CA, followed by a clinic and research Fellowship in Medical Retina and Retina Imaging at UCLA and Doheny Eye Centers-UCLA.

Dr. Corradetti’s major research interests include the study of early imaging biomarkers in atrophic age-related macular degeneration, advanced retina imaging technology and analysis, and AI/machine learning/big data & precision health.

Dr. Corradetti has more than 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals and authored several book chapters including the seventh edition of the Ryan’s Retina textbook. She also serves as a reviewer of multiple peer-reviewed journals including Ophthalmology Retina, IOVS, and Retina. She has presented her work at national and international conferences. 

Dr. Corradetti serves the ARVO CME Committee for the term 2021-2024, and the AAO International Meetings Committee since 2022. She has been selected for the ARVO Science Communication Training Fellowship, ARVO Global Mentorship, and ASRS-WinR mentoring Program. Dr. Corradetti is one of the mentors of the AAO Minority in Ophthalmology Mentoring (MOM) program, and she served the Young MD Connect team as Ambassador to provide mentorship to aspiring ophthalmologists.
