    Biography
    Dr. Goldstein received his B.A. degree in biology and genetics from UCSD in 1976 and his Ph.D. degree
    in genetics from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1980. He did postdoctoral research at the
    University of Colorado at Boulder from 1980 to 1983 and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
    1983/1984. He was assistant, associate and full professor at Harvard University in the Department of
    Cellular and Developmental Biology from 1984 to 1993 and moved to UCSD and HHMI in 1993. His
    awards include a Senior Scholar Award from the Ellison Medical Foundation, an American Cancer
    Society Faculty Research Award, and the Loeb Chair in Natural Sciences when he was at Harvard
    University.

    His research is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of intracellular movement in neurons
    and the role of transport failures in neurodegenerative diseases. His lab provided the first molecular
    descriptions of kinesin structure and organization, and also discovered important links between transport
    processes and diseases such as Alzheimer's disease[3] and Huntington's disease. Dr. Goldstein has also
    had an active role in National Science policy. He has served on many public science advisory committees,
    has written about, spoken about, and been interviewed on numerous occasions on science issues by print
    and broadcast media, and has testified on a number of occasions in the U.S. House of Representatives and
    the Senate about NIH funding and stem cell research. As a cofounder and consultant of the biotechnology
    company Cytokinetics, Inc. (http://www.cytokinetics.com) he has also had an active role in private
