    Christine Donmoyer

    Christine Donmoyer was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, an early form of macular degeneration, at 27-years-old. She works in the pharmaceutical industry and holds a PhD in Molecular Physiology & Biophysics from Vanderbilt University. She loves teaching others about the body and spent 16 years as a biology and neuroscience professor. She also enjoys teaching health and science to people with vision impairments... as she can personally relate to their challenges. Christine lives near Akron, Ohio with her husband. When she's not working, you'll find her visiting museums or seeking a quiet, cozy coffee shop with her laptop in tow.
