Biography

Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine. His clinical efforts focus on patients requiring medical and surgical interventions for glaucoma, retinal diseases, and optic nerve disorders. Dr. Goldberg's research is primarily directed towards neuroprotection and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve, addressing major unmet needs in glaucoma and optic neuropathies. His laboratory is pioneering novel stem cell and nanotherapeutic approaches for eye repair. Dr. Goldberg earned his BS magna cum laude from Yale University and his MD/PhD from Stanford University, where he made significant discoveries regarding the failure of optic nerve regeneration. He completed his ophthalmology and glaucoma training at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and was awarded a fellowship from the Heed Foundation. He was honored as the Scientist of the Year by the Hope Vision Foundation in 2010 and received the Cogan Award from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in 2012. He was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation in 2010, an honorary society for physician-scientists. Dr. Goldberg directs a NIH-funded research laboratory and has developed significant expertise in implementing FDA IND clinical trials for optic nerve neuroprotection and regeneration, with the goal of translating scientific discoveries into patient therapies.
