I was trained primarily in child psychology and neuropsychology at the University of Michigan. After graduation, I worked at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. I then moved to Washington, DC, where I took a position at the National Institute of Mental Health. My laboratory was dedicated to understanding severe neuropsychiatric illnesses, including schizophrenia and related disorders, from cognitive, genetic, and neurobiological perspectives. I was Chief of the Neurocognitive Section for two decades. Since leaving the NIMH, my work has transitioned to the study of aging and dementia at Columbia University. I have published over 200 scientific articles. A complete list of these is available in PubMed under "author"/ Goldberg TE.

Over the course of my career, I have always seen patients for clinical evaluations with a focus on neuropsychological assessment. I'm continuing to do clinical work here at Columbia University Medical Center in my Faculty Practice.
