Goldsmith, Matthew I., M.D.

Assistant Professor

Critical Care Medicine
Developmental Biology and Genetics

Director, Critical Care Fellowship Program
Genetics

 

 

Dr. Goldsmith is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics, He is an attending physician in the Division of Critical Care Medicine and a member of the Developmental Biology and Genetics Unit. Dr. Goldsmith received his medical degree from the University of Toronto. He did his residency and fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine and Saint Louis Children's Hospital. Dr. Goldsmith joined the faculty of the Department of Pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine in 2002. He is board certified in pediatrics and in pediatric critical care medicine. He is a member of the Society for Critical Care Medicine.

Dr. Goldsmith's research interests center around understanding the biology of growth control and regeneration. He uses the zebrafish, Danio rerio, as an animal model to help elucidate the genetic pathways regulating growth. Dr. Goldsmith is particularly interested in the role of nutrition vis-à-vis growth control and in understanding how nutritional status is integrated into the complex hierarchy of signals regulating growth and regeneration.
