Dr. Goldberg is Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he is also a member of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.  His research focuses on the ecology, epidemiology and evolution of infectious disease, combining field and laboratory methods to understand how pathogens in dynamic ecosystems are transmitted among hosts, across complex landscapes, and over time.  Dr. Goldberg conducts research on disease transmission between people and primates in western Uganda, on West Nile virus urban ecology and evolution in the United States, on viral diseases in agricultural systems, and on the health and conservation of aquatic and marine fishes.  The overall goal of his research is to discover generalized mechanisms that govern pathogen transmission, evolution, and emergence, and to improve the health and wellbeing of animals and humans while helping to conserve the rapidly changing ecosystems that they share.
