Bio
Dr. Noori earned her medical degree and completed her ophthalmology residency and a vitreoretinal fellowship at the Tehran (Iran) University of Medical Sciences. She practiced in Iran as a comprehensive ophthalmologist between her residency and fellowship.
After fellowship, she served for two years on the retinal faculty at Farabi Eye Hospital at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. From 2014 to 2017, she was a retina research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh, where Dr. Andrew Eller was her primary mentor. Dr. Noori has also completed uveitis and medical retina fellowships at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute/University of Miami (Florida), where she was mentored by Drs. Janet Davis and Philip Rosenfeld.
