Dr. Jara is an ophthalmologist from Peru who joined the Burnier Ocular Pathology Laboratory in 2024 for a one-year research fellowship. During her time in the lab, she contributed significantly to international collaborative research on adnexal and eyelid pathology. She presented her work at the ARVO 2025 Annual Meeting and published a study titled “Clinicopathological Comparison of Benign Eyelid Tumours in Tertiary Care Centers in Lima and Montreal from 2010 to 2019.” Her research highlighted key epidemiological and histopathological differences between patient populations in South and North America, enriching our understanding of regional trends in ocular adnexal diseases.
