Dr. Woon Chow is Assistant Professor of Pathology and Ophthalmology at Virginia Commonwealth University. He also serves as Associate Director of Pathology Informatics. Dr. Chow pursued his undergraduate, graduate, medical, and graduate medical education at VCU and VCU Health System. He obtained his dual undergraduate degrees in biomedical engineering and physics in 2003 and completed the combined MD-PhD Program, earning his medical and graduate degrees in 2011. After completing his residency training in anatomic and clinical pathology in 2015, he pursued subspecialty training in neuropathology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2017, Dr. Chow returned and joined the faculty at VCU. Dr. Chow actively participates in the teaching of central nervous system anatomy and physiology, neuropathology, and ophthalmic pathology to trainees at all levels.
Dr Charles Anderson is Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr Anderson earned his BS in physics at the University of Richmond. He earned his MS in biomedical engineering and his PhD in physiology from Virginia Commonwealth University. He is currently course director for and lecturer of physiology courses at the un
