Edward Tobinick, M.D. Biography
Edward Lewis Tobinick, M.D. is an American physician, inventor, and scientist. He has authored multiple, peer-reviewed, scientific publications in the field of neurology and been granted 20 U.S. and international patents for his medical inventions in the field of neurology. His work has been recognized by physicians and scientists worldwide as evidenced by the more than 4600 scientific citations to Dr. Tobinick’s scientific publications. Dr. Tobinick’s pioneering inventions include novel methods of drug delivery to selectively enhance the ability of large molecular weight drugs and biologics to reach the brain in therapeutic concentration. His medical discoveries have contributed to our fundamental understanding of brain and neuronal function in health and disease. The first open-label clinical trial of perispinal etanercept (PSE) for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease was begun in 2004. The trial was successful, with multiple trial participants demonstrating rapid neurological improvement. PSE has now been used for more than 20 years at the Institute of Neurological Recovery for treating selected patients with Alzheimer’s disease. For more than 14 years Dr. Tobinick’s patented perispinal etanercept stroke treatment has enabled thousands of stroke survivors to achieve unprecedented neurological improvement, even when treated years after stroke.

Dr. Tobinick graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude with honors in biology from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, received his M.D. from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine in La Jolla, California, and completed residency training in Internal Medicine at UCLA. While practicing medicine in Los Angeles he also taught medical students, interns, residents and medical faculty as an assistant clinical professor of medicine at UCLA for more than 25 years. He founded the Institute of Neurological Recovery in Los Angeles in 2001. He has been an invited expert reviewer for the journals Brain Research, Clinical Drug Investigation, CNS Drugs, Current Alzheimer Research, Drug Discovery Today, Experimental Neurology, Future Neurology, Journal of Neurochemistry, Journal of Neuroimmunology, Neuroscience, and Pharmaceutical Medicine and a previous member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Neuroinflammation. He has been the Director of the Institute of Neurological Recovery in Boca Raton, Florida since 2011. Dr. Tobinick is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
