Ethan Goldberg, M.D., Ph.D., is Associate Professor in the Division of Neurology at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Departments of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Pediatrics, at The University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He received his undergraduate degree in Neurobiology from Harvard University; M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from NYU; and general pediatric medicine, pediatric neurology, adult neurology, neurogenetics, and experimental epilepsy training at CHOP and The University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Goldberg is Attending Physician and Director of the Epilepsy NeuroGenetics Initiative (ENGIN) at CHOP, the largest dedicated epilepsy neurogenetics program in the United States. He specializes in the diagnosis and care of children with complex neurological disorders including epilepsy, developmental delay/intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Goldberg is also Director of the BRIDGE (Brain Research In Development Genetics & Engineering) Center of Emphasis at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. His laboratory studies basic mechanisms of childhood epilepsy and other neurodevelopmental disorders, with a particular interest in ion channelopathies and how genetic variation in ion channel genes leads to human disease. His lab uses a range of approaches including: human and mouse genetics; ion channel, cellular and synaptic neurophysiology; pharmacology; induced pluripotent stem cell technology; cell-based therapy; behavior; computational modeling; and in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in preclinical experimental models of neurological disease. Dr. Goldberg is recipient of numerous awards including the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for Medical Scientists (2014), American Society for Clinical Investigation Young Physician-Scientist Award (2017), Dana Foundation David Mahoney Neuroimaging Award (2018), March of Dimes Basil O’Connor Research Award (2018), the Grass Foundation Award in Neuroscience from the American Neurological Association (2019), and the Fritz Dreifuss Award from the American Epilepsy Society (2022), among others.
