Overview

James E. Goldman is affiliated with Columbia University in the United States. Their research spans multiple intersecting fields including Medicine, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Neuroscience, with a strong focus on subfields like Neurology, Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Infectious Diseases, and Genetics.

Their work covers main topics relevant to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, long-term effects of COVID-19, mitochondrial function and pathology, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, infectious encephalopathies and encephalitis, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, as well as RNA research and splicing.

In terms of recent scholarly output, some notable papers include:

  • COVID-19 neuropathology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center/New York Presbyterian Hospital (2021, Brain)
  • Single-nucleus RNA-seq identifies Huntington disease astrocyte states (2020, Acta Neuropathologica Communications)
  • Non-cell-autonomous disruption of nuclear architecture as a potential cause of COVID-19-induced anosmia (2022, Cell)
  • COVID-19 and possible links with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism: from bench to bedside (2020, npj Parkinson's Disease)
  • COVID-19 induces CNS cytokine expression and loss of hippocampal neurogenesis (2022, Brain)

James E. Goldman frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Osama Al-Dalahmah, Peter Canoll, Guy M. McKhann, Richard A. Hickman, and Vilas Menon.

Their research has been published predominantly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Acta Neuropathologica Communications, Nature Communications, UNC Libraries, and Brain. These venues reflect a blend of preprint and peer-reviewed formats across neuroscience and neuropathological research.

The combination of research topics and publication record indicates a strong engagement with neurobiological impacts of infectious diseases, particularly COVID-19, as well as various neurodegenerative disorders. Their work includes molecular and cellular neuroscience approaches to understanding disease mechanisms with a cross-disciplinary emphasis on genetics and biochemistry.
