Dr. Karolina Roszak received her veterinary degree from the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland in 2014. She completed a rotating internship in small animal surgery at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany and a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the Massey University, New Zealand, before spending 2 years at the University of Pennsylvania as a postdoctoral researcher in retinal diseases. During her postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Roszak worked on canine models of inherited retinal diseases and the application of advance adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies targeting specific cells in the outer retina for treating blinding diseases. Following this position, Dr. Roszak completed two programs for international veterinarians to practice veterinary medicine in the United States (ECFVG and PAVE) and worked in private practice for approximately one year in California. Most recently, Dr. Roszak joined the UC Davis family as a postdoctoral fellow for a year at the MRLT Lab, where she studied various corneal diseases and deep-learning models for endothelial cell segmentation and diagnostics. As a current veterinary ophthalmology resident at UC Davis, Dr. Roszak is passionate about microsurgery and wants to make veterinary health care more scalable, accessible, and less stressful for clinicians and pet owners.
