Corey Goodman is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Neuroscientist known for discoveries on axon guidance and nervous system wiring
Goodman, who grew up in Chicago and earned his PhD at UC Berkeley, was a professor at Stanford and Berkeley before moving into biotechnology. Using genetic screens in the fruit fly Drosophila, he and his colleagues identified key molecules that guide growing nerve fibres (axons) to their targets — including Slit, Robo, semaphorins and plexins — revealing how the nervous system wires itself. He is documented among Jewish figures in biomedical science.
