Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n Phone:<\/strong> \u00a0 (617) 414-8361 Location:<\/strong> Dr. Lee Goldstein received a bachelor\u2019s degree in humanities and biology from Columbia University and went on to complete his medical and doctoral training at Yale University. Dr. Goldstein completed an internal medicine internship and residency program in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He was previously an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, as well as the Director of the Molecular Aging & Development Laboratory and Center for Biometals & Metallomics at the Brigham & Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston. Dr. Goldstein joined the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, College of Engineering, Photonics Center, and the BU ADC in December 2007.<\/p>\n Dr. Goldstein\u2019s work is focused on understanding the role of abnormal protein aggregation in chronic degenerative disorders of aging. The work in his laboratory concentrates on Alzheimer\u2019s disease, age-related cataracts, and other common diseases of aging that involve pathogenic protein aggregation. His team recently discovered the first evidence of Alzheimer\u2019s disease-associated amyloid pathology outside the brain as well as a new transcription factor that plays a crucial role in cellular differentiation within the lens and brain. He and his laboratory are developing a laser-based diagnostic technology that will hopefully detect Alzheimer\u2019s disease years before the first symptoms emerge.<\/p>\n Dr. Goldstein is the Co-Director of the BU ADC Translational Animal Core<\/a> together with Dr. Alpaslan Dedeoglu.<\/p>\n Dr. Goldstein has received honors from numerous organizations, including the Harvard Medical School, National Institute of Mental Health, National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Affective Diseases, Alzheimer’s Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the Optical Society of America. He is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Neurology and Psychiatry.<\/p>\n BU Today Article: BU Professor Offers Hope for Alzheimer’s<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
