Tony L. Goldberg, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
- DVM, 2000, University of Illinois
- MS, Epidemiology, 2000, University of Illinois
- Ph.D., Anthropology, 1996, Harvard University

My training spans the biological, medical, and social sciences, which helps my laboratory engage in cross-disciplinary research. In addition to my professional interests, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, skiing) as well as literature, music, theatre, and a diversity of other cultural activities, all of which are readily available in and around the wonderful city of Madison, Wisconsin.

Lab members
The Goldberg lab consists of a dedicated group of motivated and diverse individuals. Although projects, programs, and their associated approaches vary widely, everyone is bound by a common interest in the ecology and evolution of health and disease, a commitment to conservation, and a strong work ethic and spirit of cooperation.

Collaborators
The complexity of problems at the intersection of health, disease, and ecology requires a team approach. None of the projects in the Goldberg lab would be possible without the active participation of a talented set of collaborators. We are always seeking fruitful collaborations and welcome inquiries about cooperative projects.
