Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg — Creating Supranormal Vision, Cutting-Edge Science for Eye Health, Supplements, Red Light Therapy, and The Future of Eyesight Restoration (#823)
Description
Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg is chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and director of the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University. He is a leading scientist in the development and degeneration of the visual system from eye to brain and a professor, practicing ophthalmologist, and surgeon.
Dr. Goldberg is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and has won a number of prestigious awards, including Scientist of the Year by the Hope for Vision foundation and the Cogan award from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Dr. Goldberg received his BS magna cum laude from Yale University and his MD and PhD from Stanford University, where he made significant discoveries about the failure of optic nerve regeneration.
Dr. Goldberg’s research is directed at vision restoration, including neuroprotection and regeneration of the retina and optic nerve, a major unmet need in glaucoma and other eye diseases. His laboratory is developing novel molecular, stem-cell, and nanotherapeutics approaches for eye repair, and he is widely recognized for translating advances in the lab into clinical trials for patients.
A number of his innovations have spun out into startups and clinical-stage companies, and he serves as medical and scientific advisor to a number of ophthalmic start-up, pharma, and device companies. His goal is to translate scientific discoveries to patient therapies.
