Professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Developmental Neurogenetics, University of British Columbia
Dr. Dan Goldowitz received his PhD in Psychobiology at the University of California at Irvine and did postdoctoral training in Boston, Stockholm and Salt Lake City where the focus was on brain development. Currently, he is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Developmental Neurogenetics and Professor in the Department of Medical Genetics at UBC and member of the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics.
He led a successful application and a renewal for a Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence in brain development in late 2009 and 2014, called NeuroDevNet, now called Kids Brain Health Network. Over the past eight years, Dr. Goldowitz has worked with a group of skilled and passionate researchers and important stakeholders across Canada to make significant impacts in the domains of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Most recently, he co-led a successful SPOR in brain-based disorders, CHILD-BRIGHT. In the lab, Dan continues using mouse models to study perturbations of brain development and the genes that drive the development of the cerebellum.
