Bryan Shaw (chemist)

Bryan F. Shaw (born August 20, 1976) is an American biochemist at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.[1] He is best known for developing free software for smartphones that can detect eye cancer (retinoblastoma) in children by searching the child's picture for "white eye" (leukocoria).[2][3][4] Shaw developed this software after his wife detected "white eye" in pictures of their own son, who was later diagnosed with retinoblastoma.[5] Shaw is an advocate for parent-based, photographic screening of pediatric eye diseases that present with "white-eye".[6][7] Shaw grew up in Spokane, Washington and received his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University.[8]
