Ezequiel Goldschmidt

Ezequiel Goldschmidt, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is affiliated with the Brain Tumor Center and specializes in treating brain, skull base, and pituitary gland tumors using minimally invasive approaches. A proud member of the Latinx community, his research focuses on improving surgical techniques through human anatomy studies and exploring how developmental biology can enhance tumor growth understanding and brain recovery post-injury.

• Education:
  • MD and PhD from Universidad de Buenos Aires Facultad de Medicina (2009)
  • Residency in Neurosurgery at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (2020)
  • Postdoctoral Surgical Fellowship in Neuroplasticity at Karolinska Institute (Sweden)

Research Interests: He investigates neurosurgical anatomy, endoscopic techniques, and brain tumor biology. His work includes determining risk factors for postoperative complications, application of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, and genetic profiling of brain tumors.

Clinical Trials: Dr. Goldschmidt leads trials on optic nerve stimulation to prevent visual deficits and ICG angiogram as a predictor of postoperative visual function.

Scientific Awards:

• Fellowship in Skull Base Surgery at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (2019)
• Fellowship in Neurosurgery Spine at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (2015)
• Postdoctoral Surgical Fellowship in Neuroplasticity at Karolinska Institute

Publications: His research spans minimally invasive neurosurgery, brain tumor classification, and intraoperative monitoring, with recent works on HPV-associated sinonasal cancer and immune checkpoint inhibition in meningiomas.
