Professor Jamie Craig

Jamie Craig, an ophthalmologist-scientist, is a Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor at Flinders University and a Senior Consultant at Flinders Medical Centre. As an NHMRC Level 3 Investigator Grant holder, his research focusses on the molecular genetics of blinding conditions including glaucoma, congenital cataract and diabetic retinopathy. He established and leads two national ophthalmic disease registers, ANZRAG (advanced glaucoma) and RADAR (diabetic retinopathy), which have identified disease-causal and disease-associated genes, driven changes in clinical practice, and improved patient outcomes. He has published over 440 peer-reviewed articles and co-founded Seonix Bio to commercialise the glaucoma polygenic risk profiling saliva test.
