Alexandra Golby is a professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and the Haley Distinguished Chair in the Neurosciences at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She graduated from Yale University with a degree in physics and philosophy. She attended medical school at Stanford Medical School, where she also did her neurosurgery residency.[1] She was awarded the Congress of Neurological Surgeons' Dandy Fellowship to study with Professor Alim Louis Benabid in Grenoble, France.

Golby's research and clinical practice focus on image-guided neurosurgery, particularly in regards to patients with brain tumors and epilepsy. In addition to authoring over 150 publications, she edited Image Guided Neurosurgery, a comprehensive review of the field.
