Abstract :

Dr.Goldberg FAIMBE, FBSE, joined the faculty of the University of Florida as the Biomedical Program of Excellence Professor in 1975. At Florida, as part in the Departments of Chemistry and Materials Science & Engineering, he helped establish intramural graduate programs in Polymer and Biomedical Sciences. He is now also affiliated with the University�s Cancer Center and the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Pulmonology, and Pharmacology & Therapeutics. His biomedical research interests and activities for the past 35 years have been diverse with strong focus on localized chemotherapy by direct intratumoral drug injection. Pioneering cancer therapy studies were initiated in 1976 as a Visiting NIH Scientist and marked by a seminal 1978;38:1311 Lung Cancer paper on IT Chemoimmunotherapy. Subsequent research was devoted to enhancement of intratumoral chemotherapy using drug-loaded albumin and DNA nanomesospheres as reviewed in JPP 2002;54;159- 180. Recent clinical research has been focused primarily on bronchoscopic intratumoral injection of chemotherapy with Drs. Seyhan and Firuz Celikoglu and Dr. Wolfang Hohenforst-Schmidt as reported in Cancer Therapy 2008;6:545-552 and JPP 2010;62:287-295. Dr. Goldberg is the senior author of more than 425 published and presented papers and is on the editorial boards of numerous journals.
