UCSD's Lawrence Goldstein Elected Secretary
Of American Society for Cell Biology

Lawrence S.B. Goldstein, Ph.D., professor of Cellular & Molecular Medicine and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has been re-elected secretary of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB).

With 10,000 members, the ASCB is a major voice for basic biomedical research in the United States. Its annual meeting, which will be held Dec. 14-18 in San Francisco, is the largest gathering of cell biologists in the world.

Goldstein's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of intracellular movement in neurons and the role of transport dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, Goldstein was the recipient of a Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar Award in Aging Research for his work titled "Probing the Role of Axonal transport Disturbance and Transport-mediated Signaling in Alzheimer's Disease."
