Research Profile

Member, Ontology Research Group, New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences

Louis J. Goldberg pursued a research career in the neuroscience of motor control at UCLA and received a MERIT Award from the NIH in recognition of this research. He served as Director of the MS and PhD programs in Oral Biology at UCLA and as Dean of the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Since 2003 he has been active in the field of biomedical ontology working closely with Barry Smith and his colleagues on a number of projects ranging from critical analysis of the SNOMED Dental Vocabulary to ontology-supported radiological image analysis.
