Interview Notes
Peter Goadsby, MD, PhD, FRS
Professor of Neurology and Neurologist
King's College London
Dr. Peter J. Goadsby is one of the world’s leading headache neurologists and researchers. He is a professor at King’s College London and an emeritus professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Goadsby is on the board of directors of the American Headache Society, and is also a trustee for The Migraine Trust.
He serves on the scientific advisory board and executive committee for the American Registry for Migraine Research (ARMR). He was one of the first to explore calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), the protein known for its involvement in migraine. This discovery has been instrumental in creating the new class of medications CGRP blockers, including Aimovig (erenumab), Ajovy (fremanezumab), Emgality (galcanezumab), Nurtec ODT (rimegepant), Qulipta (atogepant), and Vyepti (eptinezumab).
