Jeffrey Goldberg

Dr. Goldberg is the Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology and Director of the Spencer Center for Vision Research at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University.

He received his undergraduate degree, magna cum laude, from Yale University, and his M.D./Ph.D. from Stanford University. Dr. Goldberg is a distinguished researcher investigating neuroprotection and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve, a major unmet need in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. He received the Cogan award from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in 2012 and was elected in 2010 to the American Society of Clinical Investigation, an honorary society of physician-scientists. Dr. Goldberg directs an NIH-funded research laboratory and has developed significant expertise with implementing clinical trials addressing optic nerve neuroprotection and regeneration. His laboratory is developing novel nanotherapeutic approaches for eye repair in addition to validating biomarkers associated with neuroprotection.
