Beau B. Bruce, MD, PhD

The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology is Dr. Beau Bruce.

Dr. Bruce is Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Epidemiology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, followed by his medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine. He then did his internship in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA), and neurology residency at the combined Brigham and Women's and Massachusetts General Hospital Partners Neurology Residency Program at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA), where he became chief resident. After his fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology at Emory, he went on to get a Master's degree in Clinical Research and a doctorate in Epidemiology at Rollins School of Public Health at Emory. He is now the Medical Director of Clinical Trials for the Department of Ophthalmology at Emory University School of Medicine.

Dr. Bruce has a national and international reputation as a leader in clinical research in neuro-ophthalmology, and is a highly sought lecturer and scientist. His research has focused on idiopathic intracranial hypertension, use of nonmydriatic photography in the emergency department, and ocular myasthenia gravis. He was the lead investigator on the FOTO-ED study, a groundbreaking study looking at ocular fundus photography in the emergency setting. He is a gifted researcher and clinical trialist, as well as a beloved teacher and practitioner. I had the great pleasure of working with Beau when he was a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, and can personally attest to his many talents and great experience as a neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist.

We greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Bruce, as well as all of the contributing authors, for their great work in this issue of Seminars. The issue provides a comprehensive review of neuro-ophthalmology, including the great and exciting recent progress that has been made in this field, as well as new diagnostic and therapeutic options. We hope that you enjoy this fantastic issue!
