Ilana G. Goldberg is a multidisciplinary scientist and project manager. As an undergraduate, she researched structural biology, understanding the crystal structure and properties of the Nitrile Hydratase protein. She was then awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to spend the next year researching co-crystallization and polymorphism of small molecules at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Be’er Sheva, Israel. Upon completion of her fellowship, she moved to Washington, DC and began her PhD work in the Chemistry department at Georgetown University. Her thesis focused on the directed crystal growth and solid-state analysis of the secondary explosives RDX and HMX. After defending her dissertation in November 2011, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Transportation Security Laboratory on trace explosives detection and thermal properties of HMEs. Upon completion of her postdoc in 2013, she joined Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as a senior scientist where she worked as a project manager for large, multi-disciplinary projects. In January of 2019, Ilana joined AstraZeneca as a scientific project manager. Highlights include overseeing multifaceted research projects, cross-functional communication between project stakeholders, and technical documentation. In her spare time, she enjoys dancing, baking, and hanging out with her three children.
