Belinda Weinberg, O.D., is an optometrist at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Weinberg sees patients at the Water's Edge location and in Baltimore, Maryland. Her areas of clinical expertise include low vision rehabilitation and primary eye care. Dr. Weinberg completed her optometric training at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University. She completed a residency in low vision rehabilitation, acquired brain injury rehabilitation, and ocular disease at the Veterans Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven, Connecticut. Following her residency, she practiced low vision rehabilitation and primary eye care in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.

Dr. Ashish Doshi is a pediatric cardiologist specializing in advanced cardiac imaging at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, Maryland.Dr. Doshi completed a combined M.D./Ph.D. program at Duke University School of Medicine. His doctoral research was in the field of biomedical engineering, specifically computational modeling of cardiac electrophysiology. He completed his pediatrics residency at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, followed by a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. During his cardiology fellowship, Dr. Doshi conducted research at The Johns Hopkins University School of Engineering. After finishing fellowship, he continued this work through a research fellowship funded by the American Heart Association, investigating MRI-based computational models for arrhythmia risk prediction in tetralogy of Fallot and pediatric myocarditis. He subsequently completed training in advanced cardiac imaging at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.Dr. Doshi’s research interests involve the use of computational methods, particularly image-based biomedical modeling and computer simulation, for risk stratification and clinical decision support in children with congenital and acquired heart disease, with particular interests in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, repaired tetralogy of Fallot, and single-ventricle disease. He has also conducted work in fetal electrocardiography and the use of cardiac MRI native T1 mapping for detection of heart transplant rejection.

Dr. David Valle is a professor of pediatrics and ophthalmology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and former director of the Johns Hopkins Department of Genetic Medicine. He also serves as a geneticist for the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.Dr. Valle holds a bachelor’s degree and medical degree from Duke University. He completed a pediatric residency at Johns Hopkins University before joining the Johns Hopkins faculty. He is interested in the genetic contributions to health and disease. He is the founding director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Inherited Disease Research. Over the years, his laboratory has discovered the genetic causation for more than 20 diseases, including those responsible for inborn errors of metabolism, inherited retinal degeneration, disorders of cellular organelle biogenesis and genetic variations that contribute risk for common disorders such as schizophrenia.Dr. Valle also serves as director of the Predoctoral Training Program in Human Genetics, as well as co-director of the Genes to Society program. He was a 2014 recipient of the annual Victor A. McKusick Leadership Award from the American Society of Human Genetics, which recognizes individuals whose professional achievements have fostered and enriched the development of human genetics as well as its assimilation into the broader context of science, medicine and health.
