Matthew I. Goldsmith, M.D. [ contact information ]
Instructor
Dr. Goldsmith 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.
