David Eidelberg, MD is the director of the Center for Neurosciences at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research. A neurologist and neuroscientist, he is widely regarded for his groundbreaking work on network dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.
Dr. Eidelberg has pioneered the use of functional brain imaging to identify disease-specific networks as quantitative biomarkers of underlying pathology in patients and persons at risk, and in experimental animal models. His methods are currently in use worldwide to assess disease progression, responses to new therapies, and as an aid to clinical diagnosis.
Dr. Eidelberg received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He completed his residency in neurology there, followed by postdoctoral training in brain imaging in London and New York. Dr. Eidelberg has authored over 400 peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, and editorials (H-index 98), as well as a book (D. Eidelberg, Imaging in Parkinson’s Disease, Oxford University Press, 2011). He serves on the editorial boards of several major journals and is editor-in-chief (Western Hemisphere) of Current Opinion in Neurology. Dr. Eidelberg has received numerous grants and awards, including the 2018 Bachmann Strauss Prize for his pioneering research in dystonia. He is a member of the Association of American Physicians.
